I've got a GT2540R on stock injectors so i'm going to be going to 740ccs. I'm thinking more along the lines of 320whp at 17psi or so.. I think 740s are overkill if you're only going to keep that S15 turbo though, but it'll give you more potential.
The pulsewidth for the larger injectors will be shorter, and IDC is a calculation based off of injector pulsewidth.
I don't think bumping up the base fuel pressure would be that good of an idea. Generally fuel injectors are rated (and designed to operate) at a certain fuel pressure and IDC. I know most companies (such as RC) do their tests at 43psi static pressure and 80% IDC iirc. At higher/lower pressures and IDC's the spray pattern can begin to get less than ideal.
This is all theory though. In real world applications, I highly doubt if the spray pattern difference is even noticeable outside of a lab environment.
For a "lower powered" car, it's of no real consequence. Obviously if you're building some 200+hp/cylinder monster, then you're going to want to start paying more attention to the theory stuff, but at this point in the game, it's nothing more than a mental exercise for everyone
