[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 9889936, member: 19212"] Well, first of all it doesn't surprise me that your friends car made more power with the smaller injector. It's not because the smaller injector was better though, probably because it made the car run leaner. Had he gotten it tuned correctly, it would have made the same numbers with the larger injector in place. I just don't get the point in taking the risk with the smaller injector size. Running an injector slightly larger than what you need doesn't hurt anything, it just lowers the duty cycle of the injector. Obviously the car needs to be tuned properly, but that's going to be the case regardless. I wasn't, and am not, trying to pick on you. However, your last post was contradictory, and I just want to try and ensure that the OP gets all the correct information. If his car only ends up making around 420hp at the flywheel, then your suggestions would obviously be fine. But if he makes more, then he's going to be looking at making another injector purchase that could have been avoided. If the builder claims 500hp (which, I'll give you is probably a little on the high side) then it would be in his best interest to assume they aren't inflating that number by 100hp, and size his injectors accordingly.
