Default Boost and fi newb question

I am trying to educate myself on the correct needs for my build. Its a lil john spec 2 cam/S400/stock LM7. I will need a set of injectors so I am trying to educate myself on what I need, and the right choice for my build. Buy it right and buy it once so to speak. I have been reading a lot of posts about injector dynamics ID850's. I am figuring I will be need something on the 80# range for my build. I read lots of "feel good" post's about how their injectors tune better, idle better, have much better drivability in street car applications like mine, but what I also see is no real post's after 2012. So what is the deal? All smoke and mirrors for their double the price injectors? I really am trying to educate myself here, so please, enlighten me if you can. What is the best route to take with my build? Thanks for your time.

Rob

Siemens Deka 80 lb injectors get my vote. $340 for a set of 8 brand new and they are as reliable as any OEM injector. There are a LOT of people here using them.

Which S400 do you have? S400 is just the lineup, it tells us nothing in terms of size or potential.

80 lb injectors can get you over 1000 HP with enough fuel pressure. At the standard 58 PSI + a 1:1 you'll probably be looking at around 800 hp on the injectors. They should work just fine for an S475 at 15 PSI.
