Where did you get the info or how did you come up with 550 rwhp safe? Shouldn't it be based on motor hp vs. rwhp because a manual setup is going to put down more than an automatic setup. The best way to determine this would be by checking duty cycle, but how is this done?

I tried to draw attention to that fact by using bold for the "rw" in the "rwhp" that follows.
Here's an HPTuners screenshot (pulled from their site). Duty cycle is just a line on the graph.

This is a big concern of mine. If the injectors end up not being enough, then I already have a back up plan as to how I'm going to make a set of SVO 42s work. I wanted to know an esitmate on how much the LS7 injectors would support. In my opinion it should be based on motor hp rather than rwhp, because an automatic will show less hp on the dyno than a manual, especially how radical an automatic is setup. So to me, the best way to know whether or not they're "good" enough would be to verify duty cycle. My car is tuned with LS1Edit, so I don't know if duty cycle will be displayed or something that will have to be calculated based on other numbers. I just wanted to get a estimate as to much they'll support to have a good idea if they're going to be enough or not.

I know nothing about tuning. You posted a pic of HP Tuners showing duty cycle. I have no idea if its setup the same as LS1 Edit or not. If not, then how do I obtain duty cycle on LS1 Edit?

You gota lot of catching up to do. Several threads in this section you need to read. This has been covered long ago. But the answer to your question is yes.
Does the L76 intake flow as well as the LS7? The LS7 is only 60 bucks more, but I'm sure that there is some reason for your choosing the L76, just curious as to why. Any thoughts?

Now I just need to find someone who sells ported L92 for a decent price. I'm so glad that I didn't take the plunge and go with the FAST setup. I think I may give that new Holley throttle body a shot as well.
