I got 907rwhp with turbochargers but the baseline fuel pressure was set higher. I've got a TH400 and 12 bolt.

If you bump the fuel pressure up to 58psi and the injector is rated at 43.5 then it becomes a 96lb injector and can support ~1150fwhp so 950-1000rwhp should be doable

But dyno was was 23PSI and that's where I got my HP numbers from.

Putting in 160lb high impedance injectors on Thursday and having it tuned by SPEED INC. I'll see what she does with 25PSI or maybe even a little bit more.

3 seasons without fault from my heads. Not bad at all. More HP so we'll see if the heads have issues.
