Default injector % usage vs supporting bombs

hey guys im looking at a set of 7x0.012 (150hp) injectors for my truck in the very near future.

what im wondering is how much of the additional 150 hp will be useful with my CURRENT set up. i WILL be adding a bigger turbo down the road as well as possibly water/meth etc to help with heat.

Anyway heres my current set up as well as i can list. Let me know how much power of the injector will actually be used vs just creating heat and smoke.

FASS 150
Hx35 (stock turbo)
Edge Drag Comp (pump wire pierced)
Boost Elbow
Amsoil air filter intake
SBC SDD-3600
4" DP-5" exhaust


Im thinking thats about the max for big parts on my truck, and obviously some of these arent at all related to the question im asking, but regardless it may clear up additional questions etc.



Anyway, let me know how much additional power i will actually gain out of these injectors above whats im currently at power wise.

way too much injector on an hx it's will be toasty. save the injectors and install with a turbo. I would say your turbo will not last long before it gets too much boost and gives up. it will also be pretty smoky

You will have to turn your edge down until you get a larger turbo.

You'll notice a difference, more fuel is more fuel, you'd be surprised what an hx35 can clear up... just hope you have a built tranny. but on the flip side of that it only took a few months for my HX to show the signs of serious abuse/misuse... it was blowing oil and ended up with some serious shaft play even with wastegate set to 34psi when I was running 150's. so as 01quadcab said, you're asking it to go above and beyond it's capabilities... last thing you wanna see is it grenade a wheel.

I'd say 50% max, the rest would be going out the pipe in a cloud of black.
