i believe the nozzels get torqued to 35 ft/lbs on the body of the injector if thats the question you are asking ..if its the whole injector back into the motor then i'm not sure sorry. hope this helps

If you are referring to the bolts that hold down the injector, they are 10 N·m (89 in. lbs). Those tiny bolts will snap well before 35ft.lbs.

right now i have an edge ez tuner and a 150 gph rapter with all 1/2" line. i think with the 150 injectors and the chip set on the lowest setting, it shouldnt smoke that bad from a stand still and still have good power

Smoke will also depend on the quality of nozzle. Did you have them pop tested?
