Yep looks like you need larger ones. What’s the AFR at high RPM, does it fluctuate a lot? What PSI? Boost controller? If you see it bouncing around a bit your injectors are trying to keep up with commanded fuel and can’t. Boost controllers can bring the PSI on very quick and fuel injectors can’t keep up causing a high duty cycle and it can go lean. I would just get bigger injectors, so you have room to grow.

88# injectors and a 450 are good for much more than 555rwhp. There has to be an issue somewhere.

rail pressure is 58 + or - a psi, AFR is around 11.5 or 12 at wide open

where is your gauge and how are your fuel rails plumbed? single line feeding one rail and into the other or single line to Y with a line to each rail?

my gauge is mounted in the cab with the sensor is attached to the fuel rail, single line feeding one rail into the other (stock setup)
