ya they should be good up to that amount depending of fuel pressure, Id say 320 would be max though...

they usually start jumping into the 90% duty cycle area past 300whp. u may need to bump up the fuel pressure a little bit

you should just buy rc550's.. same price. but if u already have the rc440's ur gonna need a FPR to turn up the fuel pressure a bit to be safe.

IMO for your goal I would go with a set of 550 minimum... I personnaly would go bigger just in case

I run 680cc in my car... see specs in my signature...

With a good fuel management there is no problem to go with bigger injectors....
