Default How much boost/hp are you running/making on 550 injectors.

Just wondering who is running 550 injectors, and how much boost they are running on them. I'm tuning my car on Monday... My block will handle up to 20 psi, but I'm only running 550's. I want to run as much boost as possible, but I don't want to max out the injectors either. Car is being tuned with Hondata...
Just looking for people(s) personal experience so I know what to expect. Thanks in advance.

Looking to put down 325-350 maybe more...

you can probably take it to around 300-350 but i would watch your top end pulls and watch the af ratio. the 550cc have tendancy to get weak in the range you are in.

you could up the pressure a about 10psi and get about 600cc out of that injector

so you can up the stock fuel pressure and lets say, make about 400 whp with 550cc? i know its not a good idea but you can, right?

I'm using RC 550's, and the only reason I didn't go bigger is the cost per injector once you go over 550. Does anybody have any experience with other injectors? I think Lucas injectors is another one, and I know there's one more, but I can't remember the name I know it's start with an S****?

in saturated you hve limited amount of chocies.

just recently RC came out with a $380 for set of 720cc injectors taht will not require you to modify your wiring harness.

you can save alot by doing the resistor box install and run low imp injectors

you have tons of chocies that range from simens,lucas,bosch,and Rochestor/delphi

I already have a resistor box so going with the low imp injectors wouldn't be a problem. Where did you see that deal for RC 720cc for $380? Were those saturated???
