yes most definetly. Ill buy your injectors 
Seriously though, whenever we see more thna 85-90% dutycycle, we up the injector sizing. Usually takes 420 rwhp in a six speed (less in an auto) to do so.
if you are interested in sellign your injectors if you deem it necessary o do so, send me an email jeff@fbodycentral.com

Your more than likely fine - 90% is pretty much done, but unless you do anything else to significantly increase your power they will be fine.
If you are going to roadrace, etc. and be at high DC for extended periods of time (10-20-30 minutes, etc) then it might be worthwile, but otherwise i wouldn't bother

most injectors go static around 85%, during the transition they can "float" before going static. Bad idea.
of course you can disagree, but talk to rc engineering if you doubt this. They make some nice schtuff

With how close you are to maxxing the injector I would look into 48lb or so.

I guess I have some injectors for sale now.
The 39# injectors were included with the Magnuson Kit that I have had for 2 seasons now.
If I go with 42# injectors would the IFR table be multiplied by 42/39 or 1.07? hopefully this is all I would have to do.
Thanks for your input, it is not often that there is a clear consenses.

I honestly wouldnt spend the money on injectors for only a 107 increase in capacity.
In a 400 hp car maxed, then woudlnt they max at 428 hp? Id get some 44-48 lbs
I can check with a friend of mine to see what kinda deals he gets on the accell stuff he carries

I used the calculation found at www.rceng.com
The 39# injector is good for only 480BHP.
42#-520 and 48#-600BHP.
With MAF at 390 I am guessing I will be around 500BHP
