what other mods do you have? Take a Tech II and measure your injector duty cycle. SVO 30's wouldnt hurt, but you have to rescale your table for the new injector.

Hey Guys...
As I was developing the AFR H/C 205 project in my car currently, I "ran out" of injector right around 450 RWHP. If you feel you will achieve that number or higher....and/or plan on additional upgrades down the road (who doesn't!), then upgrading the injectors now is probably not a bad idea. The bottom line is a bigger injector won't make any more power on say a 425 RWHP...enough fuel is enough fuel...but too small an injector as power levels climb will ultimately handicap you. It might be one of those things you save a few bucks on now (if possible) and change later as you continue to get bitten by the mod bug in search of more power....(a common problem if your like most us that get consumed by needing MORE....LOL).
