Default How much HP can a stock injector maintain?

I'm wondering if I have to increase my injector size, I putting a heads (2.5, 5.3) and cam (torquer II) package from Texas speed, with a 90/90 set up, and a yank SS3600 stall. If I do need to increase my size what should I go with on a stock pump? Or just stay with my stock one? Which I'm thinking are 26lbs ones.

I belive you have the 28's. I would just wait to see where you are durring tuning. If you know your just gona keep adding power in the future tho, I would just go ahead and get them.

not too sure. but i making 404 RWHP on my stock 28lb injectors. my duty cylce is 98%.. that is high, but they are not constantly spraying. At 108% they are constantly spraying. i would go with SVO 30lb injesctors, with our motor, they really act like 36-38lbs. or jsut get 42lbs.

i may be upgrading soon

ok i'm going to be making around 420 to 430 from what I seen from the same package on other A4's around the post boards. So what is the biggest injectors a stock fuel pump can handle?
30lbs injectors sounds good to me and there pretty affordable, 42lbs seem abit big and i'm not going to be adding anymore power in the future. Just starting over with the 2009 Camaro SS.

I would atleast do a pump.Better to have it and not need it,than it is to need and not have it.
Barry I have 42lb injectors I got from harris speedworks.About the same price as the 30,so i whent straight for the 42.I also have a intank fuel pump(racetronix).When I was making only 350rwhp my injector duty cycle was at %80 and that was on 28lbers.
