Injector sizing for procharged 383
Trying to start putting some parts together for my procharged 383 LT1 build. My goal for the build is 800 RWHP, im still debating between F1A/C/R blowers but I would like to have some room to grow over 800 if I want.
Using the calculator in the sticky I come up with that I need roughly 80 lb injectors to run at 80% duty cycle at 58 psi fuel pressure.
So my question is, what fuel pressure do you want to run on a supercharged setup like I'm planning? Assuming it is, would low imp 120lb injectors work alright for my setup or would they be overkill? And are there any brands I should look for or stay away from?

all of those above mentioned calculations for sizing injectors are based on engine HP numbers, not rear wheel numbers as stated further in this thread. A good injector for this setup would be a 90# or 96#, and would have head room. As 81 LBs at 1,000bhp equated to what duty cycle? 80%? 85%?
