How much HP can my fuel system currently handle?

I was just wondering how much HP my fuel can handle safely. I am going to have my turbo upgraded and wanted to know a number that I can safely go with without adding larger injectors very soon. I am thinking like 325rwhp, is that right? I know that for 350-375rwhp I need 4x720cc injectors. Thanks for the help.

The big issue here is that the stock ECU won't drive the primaries past 60% duty cycle, no matter what the AFM signal. Oh, and get a good adjustable FPR.

On a 87TII, full exhaust and cone filter, according to a FJO Wideband we had enough fuel for 10-11psi boost. Running 12psi got the a/f ratios up into the 12.6 range, not good.

It was good enough for 13.4's @ 105.5mph.

Well Bryan @ BNR said that what I have is good for 300rwhp which should be good for mid/high 12s. Just wondering how far I could go though, so I know how far to upgrade right now. Thanks.
