MANY high rpm power losses are caused by improper or worn out springs but everyone wants to change everything else first.

All our cars use High Impedance injectors, Usually when you go big, Like I have 85lb injectors I use an Impedance Convertor because at one time all of the larger injectors were low impedance, But even now they have large injectors that are high...
