Default Fuel pressure HELP!!

I have a 93 Lt1. I replaced the injectors with svo hi flow 24# injectors. I know in 93 the injectors are rated at 22#/hr, some other different rating says 24#. Did i need to reprogram the computer ( chip ) when i did this. The car seemed to run at the track better with the pressure lower than 43. I didnt have a guage with me at the track, but i had it at 43. The car went 106 mph. I turned the regulator screw back a whole turn and the car went 108.8 mph. I have a feeling its because the 24# are flowing more than it needs. Any one have any ideas????????

You really should reprogram the chip. The FMS injectors are rated at 24# at 39 psi so they are about 26# at stock pressure of 45.

omg no wonder. im going to assume that when the car is not WOT the computer will compensate but at WOT i was getting too much fuel at 43.5 psi. Im going to drop the pressure to 38, see what happens. Thanxx for the info tho... i changed them a while back and had no idea ( stupid shoppe!)
