I would guess 35 w/ vac, low 40's without....

... and burn the chip accordingly. I really doubt you can throw a much larger set of injectors on a 355 and hope to dial pressure down far enough to compensate effectively. Anything much below the low 30's and the spray pattern begins to really suffer with those little guys.
