Tuning by EGT is very effective.
Tuning with blinky light can be effective but takes alot of time. It is best to use this for idle and part throttle cruise only.
The best tuning is done with a logged wideband signal. Without being able to log the signal it is no faster or better than a good EGT.
Best tuning tools I own are my peak hold egt and new generation g-tech. You can dasil it right in very quickly with these two onboard.

gets the fuel last???? wow, lemme guess, your flux capacitor is using all the fuel right?
base fuel pressure is around 36psi i think in dsm's...that means that fuel rail is pressurized with fuel lookin to go somewhere (to the injectors) its not choking the injectors by any means..
