Head/Cam car benefit from bigger injectors? I've heard views from both sides on this. Some say, stock injectors are good to 500HP, others say most head and cam cars will benefit.
OK so my question is this: from a cost benefit standpoint, are bigger injectors worth the cost; I have LS1.Edit so that is a sunk cost?
How much HP can you expect to gain?
Is it diffucult to determine with a logging software (OBD-2) your maximum injector duty cycle?

Really it depends on how much HP the car is making. If you're approaching 450+ RWHP I would upgrade.

...naw ...i'm running a mild cam 220/220, 564/564, 112 and ported ls6 heads milled .055...with all bolt-ons including LT headers...

I assume I'm around 400rwhp....
...i suppose i should log the car to see if the injectors are maxed...
