Unhappy will larger injectors help?

Well, I was disappointed in my numbers on the vortech. 01 A4 with aftercooled sc and 2.75" pulley. Only 408hp & 411Tq. Im going to be adding a cam, Should I go with bigger injectors over the 36lb, or just wait and do more tunning? Im not into racing, so it has a safe tune. A/F was good, dont remember exact number on that though.Thanks for the advice

SHow the graph and we'll know a lot more. It seems you are at least 50 rwhp short of where you could be though. Spark knock could easily account for the diffrence and could be caused by going lean.

I would do a pump and 42's as a minimum. I had 36's when I made 450 with my powerdyne setup and they went static at 5800 rpm.
