Are there upgrades available to increase the power level over 450HP?

I have already bought the kit, and 450HP is good, but knowing how I am I will probably want to play with it to get a little more as time progresses.

The 1,000 CFM limit seems to indicate that there is the potential to make more than 450Hp....

Thanks in advance for your answer!

The throttle body will support in excess of 650 HP. The injectors are the limiting factor in that kit. We have an exchange policy though. If you receive the kit and want to upgrade the injector size, you can send them back to us (as long as they haven't been used) along with a check or money order for $75.00 and we will exchange them for any size you want. We have Pico injectors in 29, 35 and 44 lb/hr sizes. The 35's will support about 550 hp, the 44's, 650.

Awesome, I am glad I posted here!

As you might have guessed, and I just noticed, I have posted to the wrong thread, I should have paid attention and posted to the 35410 section since I have a Ford.... :)

This information is great to know, but it raises another question. If I were to decide to make this upgrade for $75.00 (which I will!) I am wondering if there is any reason why I would not just upgrade to the 44 injectors right from the get go, or if I should get the "right" size injectors for what I am doing at the time for the sake of drivability, tunability, or like issues?

Just so you know where I am, when I started selecting the parts for my build I was shooting for 450 to 500 HP with a carb, and bought the injection setup on a whim, so even with the injectors that come with the kit I am in the ballpark of where I wanted to go.

Sorry, I am new to working with fuel injection setups and so I have never sought out any knowledge about these in the past so I kind of need to pick up some quick knowledge from people who know what they are doing... :)

Also, I am evpecting delivery of the kit tomorrow, but since I am leaving town today I wont be able to read up on the installation until I get back. Are there install directions available for this kit online? I was looking for the directions when I found this forum...
