Ya maybe but for $200-$250 for some 42lbs i would mess around. If you can make it your duty cycle will be up there.

I think you will be ok but it wouldnt hurt to try to get a set of 30lb or even the 42lb like Sprayed 01 especialy with the TFS Heads (Im real impressed with TFS and want a set) and that pretty good size cam. Im waiting on a set of SVO 30 I bought that are suppose to be here at my house in 2 days.(WeD) Ive seen quite a few 480hp to 500hp cars run the SVO 30 like Allan Futral as well run just SVO 30lbs. I wouldnt try to run it without a computer table change. I am going to take my car to my friend that has the tuning software and change the injectors there and let him put the tables in and strap it to his dyno. Good Luck

well I am at 97% duty cycle now with my current set up on the stock injectors. You will be making more power than I am at, so yes you will need to get injectors or have a chance of detonation at WOT with the stockers.

Your an idiot. Best guess has his injector duty cycle around 110%. Since anything over 80% is not recomended and over 100% is just not possible (they can't be open more than all the time), it will be time for new injectors.

My injector D/S is at 91% with a milder cam, stock heads and mid length headers. 36lb will be perfect and 42lb will give you a little room to grow.

Same here, I dynoed 360 at the rear wheels cam only (mustang dyno), and 415 on the bottle with stock injectors and fuel pump. My duty cycle was well over 110%, i'm not sure exactly what it was. I found a great deal on a set of 60lb motrons (can't hurt to have more than enough, right?), and changed to a Walbro in tank setup and gained 15 more hp on motor and 40 more with the spray. It's worth the extra few $$ to get a set of injectors and not have to worry about running the motor too lean and destroying a piston. Hope this helps.
