Back Firing

I installed larger fuel injectors on my camaro. It now backfires when i let off the gas and it runs sluggish. I was told i need to burn a new chip. And someone else told me i need a new distributor and wires. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The injector constant in your chip needs to match your injector flow rate.

Re: Back Firing

just throwin my in....check ur whole entire exhaust system headers to collectors to muff for any leaks. u would be surprised that any slight leak up by the headers will cause backfiring like a shot gun sound or rapid crackling.
