If you're tuned properly, you shouldn't be running too rich. On high power goals, you want to be rich to give your motor overboost headroom to avoid detonation. I know some shops tune for 11.5:1 AFR or right around there. You sacrifice peak power to gain reliability and a safe zone.
To the OP, before you start slapping parts on your car, you need to have a goal. If ou're looking for 350 horsepower, 550s will do you, but if you want 400, you'll need to step up to 660s as the 550s will be over their max duty cycle.

Yes, any time you change injector flowrates, you need to retune the computer to compensate, you cant just slap new ones in and expect it to run right.wzntha wrote:when you change your injectors to 550 injectors, will you be running rich on a stock setup?
