Default Flooding Problems w/ 1000cc's

hey all...im ready to take my car to the dyno. only problem is, when i try to start it, the injectors absolutely FLOOD the piss out of the cylinders..so, i take my ecu to my tuner, and he does whatever it is tuners do to those things, and said that should make it crank. now, im waiting for my s300 to get here, and i currently have s100 installed. i have a serious turbo setup, t66 on a top mount, with sleeved block and all that jazz...so im looking to make 600-650whp. i was told to get 1000cc injectors, and i trust my tuner, so i dont know what the problem could be. i figured maybe s100 wasnt sophisticated enough to run the 1000cc's and make it driveable, but..when i turn it over it will like kick a couple times like it wants to crank and then i guess it just floods out...any suggestions would be nice as to something i could do or if someone thinks something else is wrong with it..there are two plugs on the engine harness that dont seem to have a home, ive looked a thousand times, but i have everything else hooked up correctly...idk..i quit

To be honest, you should be having it towed to the tuner. With a setup that large, I would just hand it over to the tuner and let them figure it out.

I know you said you trust your tuner but you really should have it towed there. Besides if you did any honing or boring you could wash the cylinders with gas if you run it rich and have to pull apart the block.

it takes more than basic tuning knowledge to tune large cc injectors... lots of different variables such as cranking and tip-in conpinsations, also injectory battery offset adjusting. If the tuner is compitent, he should be able to get it to idle well. It isn't uncommon to have a slightly high idle, or a 12.5:1 AFR at odle to get it to idle without a lope.
