When I look at your signature, you spent a lot of money on good parts. Why using 550 injectors? IMO, I would not even waste my money on tuning with that 550 injectors. Go at least 720cc or higher for hondata and start with 7psi and go up from there. Are you running 91 octane?

I think 550cc injectors are fine until you want to boost real high. Plus the price difference after 550 is heavy. I have seen some inmpressive #'s on 440cc injectors
