Was your car tuned with those injectors? How was the A/F? What RWHP are you looking for? This will decide what size injectors you need.

i know quite a bit about motors and such but i dont know much about the A/F ratios so i had it tuned and that was with those injectors and it put out 485RWHP and 495TQ, can i get more power just by getting bigger injectors? i would like to end up with 550-600 RWHP in the end.

If you change injectors, you will have to re-tune.

Unless you were out of injector before, simply changing to a larger injector will gain you no addition power. But, with larger injectors you can up to boost for additional power.

if you have the Vortech kit, the 38lb injectors should get you close to 600 RWHP. you will have to tune for bigger injectors. No the superchips tuner will not work, unless you send it back and have them put in a custom tune.
