Stock 26lb injectors at 113% duty cycle
I have a 230's cam, milled heads, fast 90/90 and it made 413 on a mustang dyno that seems to read pretty low.
Which injectors do you guys suggest? Would the 30lb fords be sufficient?
It would be nice if I could run the 30lb since I already have a script to run for them in efi live.
Would my stock injectors being at 113% duty cycle be limiting my hp potential?
Thanks!

Being that your are commending 113% DC from your injectors, you are way out of injectors. The injectors can only supply 100% (always open), beyond that the ECM is requesting more fuel. Yes, the red top SVO 30# would work very well with your setup.

honestly, if you plan on doing more to your car, I would go ahead and invest in at least 36#ers or bigger... if you want to determine your new duty cycle at those new injectors...let me dig up my injector sheet and I can share with you how to calculate it. its a simple calculation..just at work right now and don't exactly remeber it

As an oversimplified rule of thumb, an injector running 80%DC at WOT and max engine RMP is properly sized. If you are planning to use a larger injector to support future mods on your current setup, I wouldn't go any larger than an injector that runs 60% DC @ WOT @ max RPM.
The larger the injector, the more difficult it can be to control it at low PW's...

How are so many people getting their heads/cam cars tuned with stock injectors? What are these shops telling you that you have to ask if you're out of injector at over 100% duty cycle?
If you go heads/cam and do not plan on running a dry shot or bigger cubes in the future. Buy some SVO 30#'s.
If you think you'll be hitting it with a dry shot, bigger cubes (370-408+), or very light boost, go 42#'s.
Big dry shot or moderate boost, 60#'s.
Why don't we have a sticky with this information? I've answered a question with this reply like 5 times in the last week.

Seriously, everyone thinks "their" situation is different and starts a thread "just in case" they get a different answer then has been given five times by members like you in the last few days.
If I see one more "guess my RWHP" or "Pick the best cam for me" thread I'm gonna puke.
Sorry, I'm off topic. Running a calculator I'd guess you at around 530 FWHP which is gonna put you closser to 36lb ford type injectors. The 30s are still gonna be around 88% DS. Way better than where you are but no room to grow.

It wouldn't do any good as most of us can't read.

Okay..on topic..
I agree with you. 30#'s leave you with NO room to grow if you have a healthy heads/cam setup. I wish I wasn't advised to buy the 30#'s over the 38#'s when I asked the local shop right before I went in there for my dyno tune. Not like it mattered because they wouldn't have worked for the D1SC, but it would've allowed me to set up a 100 dry shot last year instead of the 100 wet I had to run. Needless to say, since then, I've learned a LOT about fuel systems for these cars.

60 lb injectors on my 99 frc????
I have a non-z06 and have a 90/90 intake and zo6 heads and cam. I am putting a dry shot on it soon and was wanting to upgrade my injectors. I have purchased some 60lb for a TT setup I have parts to but not all of yet. Can I run my 60's w/o a problem w/o my TT setup for now?
