RMCR? You must be in colorado springs. So am I. I'm Running 30# svo injectors and with my mods they are only at 50% IDC. Due to our high altitude we lose like 30% of our horsepower so we can get away with a smaller injector.
No, I am in Cheyenne, Wy. However we are at a high altitude as well. I like to go down to Texas and low altitudes to race though, so I would like slightly larger if I need them so that when I go there I'm not losing power...
The only good way to size injectors is with a wide band and a data log. If you run too large of an injector you are leaving performance on the table (more so at high elevations). Injectors should be matched to the combination.

Sorry if i thread jack for a post or two, but I was looking into fjic.com's 42lb bosch III injectors. Going to big would leave performance n the table, if that's completely true then I'm better going with 36lb ones? Set up is in the sig. Thanks
Going to a bigger injector when your A/F ratio is good will gain you nothing. Where it will hurt you is in your low end performance at WOT. The only way to really know what you need is to use a wide band. It is my opinion (and experience) that running a bigger injector and reducing the duty cycle actually kills track times. That is why I still have 24 lb injectors in Gump (@ 50 PSI).
