what are you loging with. many scan tools have "injector duty cycle" and that just puts it into a percentage for you. 100% is maxed out.

the other thing you can log is pulse width. at 6000rpm you have 20ms to fire the injector. if you log pulse width and see over 20ms at 6000rpm then they are maxed.

if your a/f ratio is still good then you are ok for now. i personaly dont think it is a problem to goto 100+% as long as you are not going lean.

if you plan on pushing it any harder then you will need some biger injectors and a reprogram for them. the 43lb units are ideal. they plug right in and only need a reflash to run them.

that would be high boosted. NA that is really high(rich). if your feeling slugish up top it is probably from being too rich.
