Default Limit of STOCK injectors

Before I get carried away and destroy another motor going crazy with bombs and such, I was wondering what the limit of stock p-pump 12v injectors is? I believe the motor is a 160hp version and is bone stock as of now. I have a set of 4k gov springs coming and planned on doing some fuel plate mods. Fuel injectors will come once a little moo-lah get's saved up, but in the meantime I want to bump up the power a little bit (8800lbs and 38's are tough to get moving and the motor isn't making my butt-dyno happy in stock tune)

I'd also like to open the thread to injector suggestions if you want to haze me for trying to push stock units.

Any advice is appreciated!

Done just over 400hp with stock injectors and turbo on a '95, power can be made, heat is the issue.

were they stock 160- 175 injectors? or stock 215?

I thought I heard you were near 500rwhp with stock 215's and a hx35/ 21cm.

They were stock 175hp P464 5x0.009" injectors, never taken out of the truck. I have another little project truck that runs quite well with stock 215hp P477 5x0.010" injectors, but is has a 62/68/0.85AR S300, heat is still an issue.
