First I want to start by saying I searched first but found nothing. What do I need to do to make my DSM 450cc injectors work on a CA I had them in once but the engine wouldnt rev or drive. Can someone tell me what to do or what I need to get them to work. I have SAFCII so I have a way to tune after I install them. Thanks

you can run the DSMs without a tune. you just run real rich.

assuming you have your resistor pack and fuel rail hooked up right...... it is plug and play.

wow. dont listen to her at all.

#1 problem without tuning is you wash your CYL walls down with fuel. FUEL IS NOT A LUBRICANT! and can cause severe damage to your engine. ALWAYS make sure your running properly tuned for the upgrades you have and you will always get peak performance out of your application.

i could be even more of a d!ck. But i will refrain... FOR NOW

I would just like to know what I need to do to run them whether I need some sort of resistor or can I just drop them in. I wasnt asking what you think I should do I was asking what I have to do run them, and I can tune it with my safc which I mentioned in the begining of the post. Does anyone know exactly what I need to do?I feel like no one on this forum can give a simple answer. Its always this or that or hook this up, cant someone just tell me exactly what to do and straight to the point, from there own experience.

they are direct replacements beyond a tune for your stock 370s

is that simple enough? the CA resistor and DSM resistor are interchangeable.... so as long as you have one or the other you are good. if that is what you are asking.

Install injectors (you'll need a smaller fuel rail o-ring than what comes with the injectors)

Remove about 20% fuel across the board with the SAFC.

Drive to dyno and get properly tuned.

Chill out. Both of you. If you've got issue's with each other, duke it out in gen chat. This stuff doesn't belong in here and you both know it.

I'm locking this because the OP got the answer to his question.
