Yes, that does sound right. You want about 80% max. Maybe time for some SVO 30#s.

You could possibly get more power. My injectors were at like 115%. I put 60lbers in. Way overboard but, now I have alot of room to grow. They were the same price so I said, why not.

I don't have any experience with the bottle, but I can't see how bigger injectors would give more power. The correct A/F ratio is the correct A/F ratio. The bigger injectors would prevent your injectors from being maxed out and possibly not being able to deliver enough fuel at high rpms.

You probably just have tired or dirty injectors. The only real mod is the cam and that shouldn't put you to that level.

read a post claiming around 7hp for each 1lb of injector as a gain . not sure of the method used to come up with it .
