I had the injectors cleaned and flow tested prior to installing them, but since I don’t know what is causing this problem, I am willing to consider anything.

Do you think that I could have an intake leak that is causing this fluctuation? This makes no sense to me.  How could it be fluctuating??

How much faith do you have in the quality of your injectors?

I noticed from my run logs that I sometimes get an AFR that drops out the bottom.  It will last for a second or two, and then goes away for 30 to 45 seconds.  It only happens when the secondaries come online, and was much worse when I had the computer configured for a higher number of squirts, eg. they opened twice as often for half the time.  I can definitely see a 'hiccup' in the log graphs.  I'm having an inclination to blame it on an injector getting stuck open, and momentarily flooding the engine .
