Default Injectors too big?

Would 550cc Injectors be too big, or is it like everything else, nothing is too big

Many people on this board and m.net use them with various EMS.

There is such a thing as "too big" when it comes to injectors- rough idle and increased emissions.

550cc ought to be good for around 270 HP or so. Quite a few folks are running them 'round these parts. 440 and 460cc are the next common sizes down, and perfectly adequate for most sane Miata applications.

I mean I wont be running 270 hp, but it would be nice to have bigger injectors incase I were to build my engine and get an upgraded transmission :-D haha

Those injectors with the MSPnP should do well and not have that bad of an idle?

89-91 RX7 550cc are direct plug in?

if you can afford to build your engine and transmission, you can afford bigger injectors when you need them.... right?

It would just be eaiser to get injectors that are more inline with the power you'd be running.
