Don't quote me but with a well laid out system, lines, rails, pump, etc. I don't think they will do much more than 550rwhp and lucky if you get 600rwp. I don't remember since I looked into a long time ago, but I do know I just made the plunge straight to 60#'s instead of upgrading twice in the future.

525-550 RWHP is where it's at-from what i have seen from a couple of my freinds car-

if not wanting to buy injectors twice over 60-70 pounders would be more then enough for 700-750 rwhp-

So there you have it, 550rwhp max, thats what I thought. 98% duty cycle is a lil scary

85% duty cycle is typically where you want to max out injector duty cycles, many are over this point, but it's not a good idea. Bob

Bob you work as much as I do! Thanks for your input guys, I was double checking I am around 500 and was trying to make sure I had not gone to far yet.
