Was talking to a buddy of mine at work today and he brought up a fact that I hadn't thought about .. he said it could be possible that the AFR is off and is still causing it to Over fuel .. just something else I wanted to share ..

Yeah that's what I was telling him.. well I guess the next thing would be to scope the cylinders

Pulled the plugs , scoped the cylinders... couldn't really see any evidence of scratches in the cylinders .cylinder walls were nice and clean .. tops of the pistons where pretty black alittle oily ... the plugs of course smells like they had been dipped in gas .. uploaded a video of the plugs ...
Is that oil or fuel? Do you see a good cross hatch on the cylinder walls? Find out which it is. If it's fuel they need to program your efi unit. Do you have any way to look at data from the efi unit?
I kind of assume you have a WB O2 sensor, and some way to read AFR/lambda; correct?
Screen-shots from the Holley tuning SW may help. I used MegaSquirt and an old Electromotive system for many years. I may be able to spot something obvious from the screen-shots. This is a TBI system? Two injectors or four?

Sorry no compression readings .. mine is broke unfortunately have to get a new one ... the system I'm using is the holley sniper EFI 4 injectors .. and yes it does have a hand held that plugs in to the throttle body and gives you all the read outs .. as for the cylinders , my scope isn't anything expensive.. doesn't have a "perfect " image.. but from what I could see all looked good ... and for the spark plugs .. if you were able to open the video.. the plugs looked wet .... and this car has been sitting a week since last started ... and had a strong gas smell

Well after i read what you wrote about the cross hatch it reminded me of what I told the holley tech support guy .. I was worried that the over fueling would wash out the cylinders... .. after I got home I stuck the scope back in and I believe your correct .. the cylinders look smooth as a babies butt ... "possible " the over fueling fried the rings ?
