so far. that's why everyone bolts on a supercharger and makes basically the same power.....550-600 whp depending on the dyno. if you want to make more you swap the cam and if you swap the cam you might as well do the heads.....if you are spending enough for that you might as well pop for a stroker motor. now you make 1000 hp.

Not the only option, but the best option.

LPE does make an injector drive to add port fuel injectors. Also any standalone could drive a set of injectors if you want to added them. You would need a custom intake manifold/rails/etc. You could also use methanol as fuel if you want to go that route and either do 1 or 2 nozzles pre TB or a direct port meth setup and use it to supplement fuel to the motor.

I believe DW has upsized injectors too. No real feedback on how well they work or the limits.

the stock clutch, rear, and trans seem to be holding quite a lot of power without issue that I know of.
