I was told the compression is 10.5 and the hp is 550. I am curious though about the injectors, are they big enough, as a relative point (I think) the fuel pressure is set at 62 psi, when I got the car it was some where between 75 & 80 psi. Unfortunatly I have been experiencing some minor probs which has prevented any performance tinkering.

I'm running 30# right now and they are enough. However, that's at 43.5 psi. At 62 psi, that will be more than enough. You might wanna look at taking pressure back to stock and getting bigger injectors. If 27# is rated at 43.5 psi, then at 62 psi those injectors are more like 36#s.
