Fuel Injector Size

Had my car dynoed I'm making about 360Hp at the rear wheels. Wanted to replace my injectors. I'm currently using the original injectors, (22lb). I have some low RPM driveability issues and I've pretty much replaced everything else - thought I would put some new injectors in. I found a formula on Racenet. It recommend somewhere in the 33lb area - I was actually planning on going with 24Lb injectors. Any thoughts?

I think 24 lb injectors are good for 450 hp

24 SVOs or 30 SVOs....

I'd actually go with some 30s. Just to be safe and also gives you a little more room if you plan adding more mods. You'd almost be maxing out stock 24 injectors with that power. Keeping them at high duty cycle all the time isn't too good of an idea...

I'd run a 30 it'll leave you some head room for future modifications.
