Default 5X16 injectors? too big?

ok i am looking at a set of 5X16 injectors, will they be too much for my setup? i eventually plan to twin it and tow regularly.

so how much power can i expect from these? im at 292 and 770 with my current injectors.

5x16 is a big injector ... I think you would like a set of 5x12'sor 5x14's depending on what twins you wanna run

i live in utah so hills and altitude are a huge factor, right now i live at 7200 ft and tow up to 9000ft. I encounter 6% grades regularly. right now my Egt's are out of controll, but i figure i can twin it, and cool it right down.

The S475 can be picked up for under $600 brand new! Will run well under a HX35 or S300 variants.....
