What you call the "fuel delivery mod" is normally called the "parallel fuel rail" mod. It's intended to ensure equal fuel pressure to all 4 injectors, and is usually helpful. Some cars are worse than others about leaning out #3. And like Scott and I said, the ECU will read the O2 sensor and trim fuel as needed to compensate for larger/smaller injectors, within reason. 10-15% bigger is within reason. And SAFCs are still not viable alternatives to a reflash, because the ECU is going to remap fuel around the SAFC, just like it has since the 2000 MAP engines came out. There really is no substitute for reflashing. There is not a single better alternative.
