Most people find the stock 28.8# injectors are max'd out (100% IDC) around 420rwhp.
30# SVO's (which are actually 36# at 58psi) are good to about 450-460rwhp.

How is a 30# a 36#??? Why wouldn't they just call it a 36# if it is instead of a 30#???Sounds like a need 58psi for my 450hp build.

Fuel injectors are universal fit parts, and are typically rated at 43psi fuel pressure.
C5 fuel systems run at 58psi fuel pressure.
A fuel injector that flows 30# @ 43psi will actually flow 36# @ 58psi. That is why a seemingly small jump to the 30s is actually a bigger step than most people think.

You already have 58psi, that's the point.

while we're talking about fuel injectors, im around 430RWHP and my duty cycle is maxed! I will be N/A around 470-480RWHP in the short future and hope to have 150 dry shot on top of that. Would 42lb-ers be enough?
