I know this is an old thread but the information is timeless... someone might find this useful... GMTuners.com - Here are some formulas you can use to determine how much horsepower a particular injector flow rate will support or how big of an injector you need to support your desired, or your engine's HP specification:
Duty Cycle = The maximum sustained "ON-TIME" of the Injector. The typical maximum injector ON-TIME sustainable in a modern EFI engine is 80%. For the above formulas, use 0.80 for the duty cycle.

HP / Number of Injectors x BSFC / Duty Cycle = Injector size required
Injector Size x Duty Cycle / BSFC x Number of Injectors = HP supported
BSFC = Brake Specific Fuel Consumption. Most naturally aspirated engines have a BSFC factor of 0.50. Most Supercharged or Turbocharged engines have a BSFC factor of 0.65.Injector Size x Duty Cycle / BSFC x Number of Injectors = HP supported
Duty Cycle = The maximum sustained "ON-TIME" of the Injector. The typical maximum injector ON-TIME sustainable in a modern EFI engine is 80%. For the above formulas, use 0.80 for the duty cycle.

Bosch 3 injectors for my 85
I bought the above injectors from Fuel Injector Connection per recommendation. We put them in the fuel rail first and I'm not sure they all the way in. The rail is as far down as it will go. See pic. Is this right?
