What sucks is we took the UIM off and inspected the gaskets, especially right where the carb cleaner was affecting idle, and everything looks to be perfectly fine. The gaskets look fine and there was a little line on top of the LIM all the way around the suspect area which looks like it sealed good. We replaced the UIM gaskets anyways since I had a spare set laying around (the ones we originally used were also new BTW), and the idle got slightly better, but the problem is still there and that same area still reacts to carb cleaner slightly. Has anyone else had problems with getting the UIM to seal properly?

Also, is there any way in the SCT PRP to add more columns to the base fuel and knock tables? The RPMs only go in increments of 1000 on the fuel table and I want to at least have it go by 500 RPMs.

[Edit]
I forgot to mention about the IMRC spark adder. When the IMRC is turned off in the software, all of the IMRC specific tables disappear with it, so I'm guessing that there's no ~10* of timing being added anymore at IMRC point. I even turned it back on to zero them all out and turned it back off to be safe, but I still feel that jump in power at ~3000 RPM. I guess it's time to play with fuel and timing once more



What kind of conversion have you done with the LIM to the heads?
Whatever you did, you can always take black RTV silicone and put it around all the o-rings and let it cure over night. The silicone pulls off easily when you go to change out, and you can get away with using the older gaskets for a Test so that you don't get it all over the newer ones. Anyway, it will definitely seal the area if there isn't something drastically wrong. Also, be sure not to start the engine until the silicone is set up because you don't want to suck it into the engine past the gaskets. You also don't need a lot, just enough around the o-rings to fill any gaps with the mating surface. I'd recommend pulling the LIM and sealing the gaskets against the head side first. That way the LIM can be put on and off easily and not be attached. The gaskets will be sealed against the heads and will stay in place on subsequent cleanings. While you have it off you can see if your lower gaskets or mating surfaces are damaged in any way.

Next, with the LIM off you can check out your injector orings where they seal into the manifolds and make sure they aren't cracked and leaking air.
finally, if that is all good you can seal the upper IM gaskets to the LIM so that you can easily remove the upper if the problem persists after the above mentioned tricks.
