Is 555cc too much fuel for injectors?

I was looking at upgrading my injectors/ecu since I stumbled upon some cash.. and i've heard that RC only makes 555cc for 4th gens.. is this too much fuel? Would it be damaging/dangerous? Also does anyone know what the stock injectors are rated at?

As long as you have a remapped ECU for the larger injectors you will be fine, otherwise it will not work on the stock ECU. I think stock injectors are something like 268/or 296, something like that.

RC doesn't make any injectors, they don't really even stock the side-feed injectors for some reason.

239cc is stock (good for about 350hp). Unless you are putting large amounts of fuel into your car, why would you wanna change it? Once you get the injectors (about $1500 for all 6), plus re-program ECU (you must, just to keep the car running with the new injectors, and if its possible for your car)about $450. Once this is done, no additional fuel will be injected, NO hp will be gained.

So, you've got $2,000 into injectors, you won't notice ANY difference over stock config (unless you are programming/tuning for another reason). I promise, you won't see a difference if just swapping injectors is the route you are going.
