Default LT4 pump and injector limits

How much hp will a LT4 High side pump and injector upgrade on LT1 in a supercharged application support?

Anyone have real world hp numbers using the LT4 pump and injectors in an LT1?

Your pistons are the weak link. Keep it at 600. When you get forged internals then you are ready for a fuel system upgrade. Trust me... If you go forged, the LT4 HPFP/injectors will be out of fuel at 700 on 93 and 800 on E85 and that's with a secondary fuel system and a cam with 38% fuel lobe and no meth as a fuel adder.

750rwhp through an a8 on a dynojet using a PD blower with pump gas if using a cam with larger fuel lobe.
