I have four 850cc with 2.98oh injectors and the PWM setting in 75%. MS-I with PCB2.2 fuel only Stock code 8x8 tables.

The engine is a 2.0l 8V Turbo Engine in a Full chassis car running 9.67 in the 1/4mile.

9 sec 4 pot. Nice!

With the V2.2 board you will need the flyback board to reliably drive those injectors. This is a known failure mode and has been addressed in the V3.0 board.
Check out the flyback section of the megamanual.

Another option is injector resistors and the high-res code (which will definately help it idle on 850cc w/ a 2.0L). See the MSNS-E dev forum.

A third option is to use peak and hold injector drivers : http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?t=19661

You can use these with any code be it the standard code or the high-res code. I agree with boost junkie that the high-res code would be a good choice for you.
