Tell me what good that's going to do when you don't know what the target HP is?

Sounds like you need something bigger than 30's. Get some 42's.

That's a great attitude to have when injector sizing is incredibly crucial. Is your nitrous kit a wet or dry kit?

Geeze, it's not rocket science. Why would you risk blowing your **** up when you can make those exact injectors put out 43.5 lbs!

Ford says they rate them at 40lbs which is just under 3 bar. You throw that injector into a gen III engine and it is a 43.5lbs injector.....

Buy an adjustable FPR, crank it up to 58 lbs, and be done..

Only do this with quality fuel injectors, some of the cheap ones will cut off at higher pressures.
