Default i leaned out my AFR, and that seemed to help a lot...

i leaned out my primary fuel when i put the meth injection in, and the misfires disappeared for a few weeks, but then came back (no where near as bad as before). ive turned the meth off for now (found a leak, need to fix it), and i richened primary back to 0%. cold starts are a nightmare again...

Default did you get an email from Todd@AWE asking some question about your setup?

last time I heard from AWE was on 10/19, Todd emailed the list some questions regarding our setup and how the car behaves in the morning.

Default Just curious, is it just cold start misfires which are experienced?

I haven't witnessed any but the coldest start has been in my garage at about 60 F minimum.

Default I was having cold start issues with the Vast kit until I installed the TCD.

It might be worth putting one in to see what happens with the AWE kit.
