24# Injectors too little???
I have two sets of injectors 24# and 30#, and I'm pushing about 415 hp out of my HSR intake and sbc 355 w/ 10.8 compression. See my sig below for specs. Do you think the 24lbs. can handle my power, or should I just drop in my 30lbs and sell the 24lbs. Let me know what your input is. Thanks.

You'll be fine with the 24's. Ive been running my 383 with 24's for two years now. Last run at the track netted a 12.2. I'm changing out my intake now in hopes to pull more air through. Drop your 24's in and sell me the 30's!

Some people like to run large injectors at a lower pressure but I like to run smaller injectors at high pressure.
You can do alot with smaller ones just by turning them up some after you've had them properly cleaned. I think it's slightly better efficiency wise as well.
Big injectors on low pressure can help with max power output but you always end up with some wasted fuel that wasn't atomized all the way.

I've never really thought of doing it that way. I was told that you always want to set the injectors at 80% duty cycle, which means turning the larger ones down.
