Running out of injector.. Tuner was pulling some logs on a highway run, and in 3rd gear.
I have a mild heads/cam car and, currently, stock injectors.
The IDC was at 58% at 3700, 87% at 5000, and 102% at 6000 (and in 90+ degree heat and 80%+ humidity), and the combo makes peak power about 6300.
I will be upgrading to 42's but I wanted to know..
In the meantime, would shifting at 6000 be ok, or would that be dangerous when the temperature drops? or am I risking something? 42's seem like the right choice?

On a 346 cubes NA more than 30lbs SVO is not needed. Otherwise it only means your fuel supply (pump/regulator) are not doing their job.
30lbs SVO will support 500>550rwhp at proper sustained pressure

On the other hand, I got a set of flow matched 42s you could make me an offer on.
