Default limits of #42 green tops svo?

Whats the horse power limits of these injectors using the stock fuel rails on a ls1, given its a boosted motor, stock fp is at 58psi, and has a 1:1 rising rate regulator? I am hoping these will support 650whp given proper fuel pump. can anyone give me a good idea? I know they are 42pound injectors but thats on fords, we use more fuel pressure so arnt they more like 48 pounders? excuse my ignorance.

42# injectors should be able to support 575-600rwhp so you'll need bigger ones for that power.

Depends on your setup. On my Procharged, stock motored '02 Z28 the 42# green tops hit 100% duty cycle at 5300 RPM when I pullied up for 10 psi of boost. It only put down 542 RWHP due to running out of injector. I have installed Siemens Deka 60# injectors and am upgrading the fuel pump to match. Going back to the dyno soon, but am sure the Siemens injectors have given me the room I needed.

Here is a calculator for size of injector versus fuel pressure

My experience the 42's won't get you beyond 500 but as stated each system seems different
