no there perfect. im shooting for 350-400 whp, so theese are exactly what im going to need. im kinda trying to build my setup similar to this guys setup  
[http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/213470](http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/213470)  
except i am using a megan mani high temp coated, 740’s because they dont make a top feed fuel rail for the s14 sr20 without going to a greddy manifold, and i dont want to do this because that mani is designed to bring power up top and i want to keep the low end power. i am also using a z32 maf which should make no difference at all.

well winter is here and its about time to work on my car again as usual. i was getting some blowby that was causing the dipstick to pop out at high boost. so i pulled the motor and tore the motor down, to most likely put a set of forged pistons in it, if not a set of stock pistons and rings. i dont have any pics of the motor torn down but i do have a couple i took today of the engine bay before i cleaned it.

Dont know, but from what I know a good rule of thumb is about 1cc per horsepower. Unless you are going to run alcohol. Then you are right on with your injectors because you need to double the size.

Well, I’ve seen this car in person, and let me tell you, it’s wicked clean. Fantastic job on this car.
