Got another update from my supplier about these injectors. They were supposed to become available april 29, now theyre saying June 10. Is there any legitimacy to these dates or should i expect this to keep extending indefinitely?

Legitimate in that there simply are none available, and they have zero control over when they actual do receive some.
I feel your pain- be thankful you're only waiting for the ones in YOUR engine. I honestly don't know how many dozen I have backordered currently.

Update... the injectors are now delayed until July 15. I really hope this doesnt just go on and on forever. Not sure where they get these dates or what they mean, but if any of you guys have any available please let me know! I know its a shot in the dark but im exhausting all possible options at this point.
I'm hopeful that the latest date we were given will actually materialize...

Got everything back together and test drove today. So far so good. Idled nice and smooth, no trouble getting on pad. Going again tomorrow, fingers crossed. Gonna continue to keep it below WoT for awhile as recommended.
Still running good! Hopefully this solves it and i can move on to preventative maintenance!
Thanks a ton to everyone here for all the help!
Glad to hear it.
Injectors simply wear in are more consistent (usually) after 10 hours or so. Not really anything you need to do other than the cocktail (just takes time and use).
