Default Air mods?

What can be done to get more air into a series one besides simple things like an intake and cai.

Get a mini-AFC then. Regardless the computer will adjust the fuel till your A/F is correct.

why would the computer adjust the a/f mixture if his injectors are too big? I'm just guessing here, but doesn't the PCM assume a certain amount of fuel flow per second that the injectors are open? How would his PCM know his injectors are flowing more fuel?

or would the oxygen sensor detect a too-rich condition?

You have an AFC, How do you know you're running too rich? Get an aftermarket A/F gauge.

Jachin, you have two unknown variables in your system. Injector size and an AFC. Until you can rule both of them out, you may not find your problem.

QuadB problems may not be causing your lack of performance. Then again, they might.
