Default injectors 550 big enough? saturated or not?

OK so I'm deciding on injectors now.
I have a place that can get me some p&h 550cc injectors + a crx resistor box for $400.
My questions are:
1. is 550cc enough for 300whp on stock fuel pressure or would I have to go with a fpr or something? or should I get larger injectors?
2. would it be easier to install/dispense with the need for the resistor box if I got saturated 550cc injectors?

$400!!?! that's way too much!
You can get them from any of the sponsors for less than $300 shipped.
Saturated RC550...no need for resistor box.

Look around, and yes...550 is enough for the kinda power you're asking for.




These are the vendors I highly recommend:


http://www.importparts.com, http://www.wiredspeed.com, http://www.import-palace.com, http://www.camp1320.com and some others...

I've ordered bunch of stuff from them...and they all came thru. Good prices too.

well I looked at importparts also
I found their RC550 for $81.11, thats for each one right?
http://www.importparts.com/sho...=2764
so that's 324ish for 4?

And at accordinglydone.com/store for 300 with the obd2 clip
http://www.accordinglydone.com...d=150
which I assume is for the set.

so I should go with those huh?

$400 is nuts! I've seen new 550's sell here for $250-275, and a resistor box shouldn't cost you more than $40.

550's are more than enough for 300whp, hell 440's are enough for 300whp @ 45psi at the rail

Not only that...if you know where to look on HT. The price is not the same as the ones on the websites. We HT get special discounts.

Like I said....it's less than $300 shipped

whatever you do get the p&h, because the saturated give off a single stream of fuel which could cause hotspots, I suggest the p&h if you wanna make a decent amount of power. just my .02

If you pay that much i will slap you

550's will be enough for your goals, but I would go with saturated injectors. No need to mess with the additional wiring and space for a resistor box. Keep things simple. Also talk to Ben on the injectors, I remember he had a special a while back on 550 RC saturated for like $280-290, but any Good honda-tech sponsor should be able to get them for you for under $300, Keep in mind this is for Saturated, the P&H are cheaper and have seen been sell those for $250

if you have that much to spend you should buy bigger injectors so that you don't have to go through this again. if you're using an AEM you'll be fine if your tuner knows what he's doing.

550's aren't big enough?
and what's this about peak&hold being better? (vtekthis)
what does he mean by a 'decent amount of power'?
