Default Injector question

I have done some searching on here but haven't found the answer I am looking for. I have a T-76 turbo, 10psi for now till I get used to it, 60# injectors, 255 in-tank pump, and when we were tuning it was maxxing out the injectors at 6600rpms. Question is do I need to go dual in-tank 255's? I am planning on doing it soon, just want to know what ya'll think before I do anything. Oh yeah fuel pressure is 58psi. Thanks in advance

When you say 'maxxing out the injectors' I assume your talking about injector duty cycle. This is a different condition than what you describe above.

The fuel pumps must supply the needed volume and pressure to support your horsepower level. Is your fuel pressure a steady 58 to red line?

Yes sorry I meant at 6600rpms, my duty cycle is 100% and yes it is 58psi steady.
Edit.. at 50% throttle I am at 60% duty cycle

What about you’re A/F ratio's? Are you going lean on the top end? No doubt you probably need bigger injectors, but the fuel pump/delivery system is a different story.
