ok guys, i'm still working on my build. I'm going to 350hp and debating on what injector size to use. i can get sard 550's for $370 or sard 850's for $380 for a hook-up. I'm going to control them with a power fc and was wondering if 850 is just way too big. I do want head room for more power in the future but for what i'm shooting for right now is 850cc just way too much? any input would help thanks!

IMO I would use the 550's, It's what I have always beeen recommended for that HP.

Don't quote me, but 80%+ would be my guess... I could be wrong..

I maxxed out my nismo 555cc injectors at 380hp. Honestly I would recommend 740cc injectors just for extra room to go. I believe deatschwerks sells 640cc injectors which would work too.

i didn't want to exceed 80% duty cycle for safety.

then i might as well go with the 850cc. also, does having injectors that are far too big mean that it's tougher to control the flow rate?

It can be a little harder to get the car to idle correctly, especially with cams that don't tolerate extremes in AFR(lean or rich) like stock cams can.

I say some Nismo 740cc injectors are good(they're what I use), but I'd go 850cc if I had those or 550cc to choose between.

I had to choose between Nismo 740 and Sard 850. I chose Sard cuz they were way cheaper for me. I paid $300 for a brand new set vs $550 for the Nismo 740s.

Anyways, its 850s isnt overkill, car idles fine and is very streetable. Injector % is set at 58% iirc.
