Default Fuel Rail upgrade nessesary?

At what point do i need to upgrade fuel rails? Im going to a ported 92/92 setup, and im rebuilding the engine (still 346 or 347 ci), and was wondering when or if i needto upgrade fuel rails. It will be making pprox 500 Flywheel HP.

Nasty Performance has a nice set of Billet Rails.

I've noticed a lot of people running the stock rails on some higher RWHP cars on here, FYI

Stock rails should be fine, I make 500 RWHP N/A... I'm adding Nitrous as well and still running the stock rails. My setup is a 383, Fast 90/NW 90, 42#SVO injectors, etc.

stock fuel rails are fine... eventually, depending on your build you might need to upgrade the injectors...

I'm still on my completely stock fuel system... but i'm on the edge of maxing out my injectors...

i've been told I should go with some 42#'s.... just unsure which ones to go with...
