Default What injectors do I need?

Bolt ons, and a 230/224 cam. Maxxing out injectors at 114% duty cycle on the dyno last night (made 390hp/377tq). Once in a while I use a dry 75 shot of nitrous but can't see ever using more than a 100 shot.

Would 30# be enough or do I need 42#?

30# SVO injectors will flow about 26# on our cars. That should do it.

The 42#s are pretty easy to tune and can handle anything other then boost.
You'll never need to size again.

Just for some information, I recently put SVO #30's on my car. With the current mods, I was at 68% duty cycle at WOT.

42Lbs injectors are cheap and will allow plenty or room in case you decide to go a different route in the future.

Since the differential pressure is low (60 base PSI minus 20 manifold PSI) and I have only 4 injectors, they are already maxed out

So i'm just guessing here but 'BOOST' requires more injector.

I would look at doing the fuel pump if you plan on running the Nitrous.
