Are these injectors large enough?

Default Are these injectors large enough?

I have 37 pound Delphi injectors, thought they were 30s (bonus!). They were in a 96 and I would be putting them in my 1994. My current mods are..... mild head/cam/RR car with bolt ons and a Vortech running 6lbs all on a stock cubed block.

Will they work on the low boost?

Thx

Those injectors should be big enough for around 450 hp (crank) with a .6 BSFC, ASSuming the rated flow is at 43.5 psi and that is the pressure you are running. I used 90% IDC max on the RC fuel injection calculator to arrive at that conclusion.

No idea on the current power. I am guessing around 300 at the wheel and the supercharger will add about 100 whp more. I would say it would be around 500 at the crank. So.....at 43.5psi, can I add a booster pump to bring up the pressure or am I all "wet"?

it should be close, if you run out of fuel top end, you can just limit your rpm until you get larger injectors.
