Default RC 440cc or 550cc injectors?

I hope to make 225-250whp on nitrous, I know that 440's would be sufficient, but should I just go with the 550's since they are only a few $$ more in case I want more later? Would it be as easy to tune the car for N/A on that big of injectors using Hondata nitrous control? Or would it be too rich off the nitrous?

whether the car is on 440 or 550 ..it will be the same amount of tuning on a standalone or AFC hack..as for which is better, if you have the cash I'd do 550 just in case you hunger for more power in the future

The new 550cc saturated injectors by RC is what made me consider this.

Saturated means high impedence and no resistor box is needed, Peak and Hold is low impedence and a resistor box is needed. HTH!

edit: All 91 and earlier Integras had saturated and resistor boxes, all Civics up until 1991, Preludes I think up until 96(?)

Peak and Hold injectors are low resistance 2.5/3 ohms and Saturated injectors are high resistance 12-16 ohms. In order to use peak and hold injectors with a car that uses saturated such as a 96-00 Civic you have to wire in a resistor.

Edit: Guess someone already beat me to the answer.
