Well I went through and added 10% to the flow amounts in the maf calibration
where the block learn was 140. (Below 16 grams/sec).  I reset the injector
constant back to stock, 22.4, and so far the block learn is staying right at
128 and getting cross counts at idle!
I also got a bit wild with the block learn low med and high flow and rpm set
points.  I'll keep you posted with the results. I raised both the flow and
rpm's 30% per setting. I will lose a small amount of resolution but I don't
think it will be a problem.
