That’s a lot of injector for an NA car anyway and from what I’ve ever heard and read is the larger the injector the harder it is to get a controlled idle as that’s where the engine is pickiest and the hardest point to control a large injector.

That was my thoughts too. Too big of injectors. That's why I asked about the injector dwell time. Dwell at WOT should be around 80 to 90%. If it's more, the injectors are not big enough and will lean out the mixture. If it's less, The injectors are too big and will cause idling issues.
