Default Feul injector upgrade help, More Boost!!

Well, I just bought an 86 SVO. And already looking to modify it. Im currently looking at a couple front mount intercooler designs.

But Im tryint to get some infomation on upgrading the fuel injectors in the car. I think it has the stock brown tops now.
(How much boost can be run on stock injectors?) The previous owner also gave me what he thinks is a set of 62 pound fuel injectors, with a wiring harness, and a Accel Calmap computer. He was too afraid to install it. Looks like a big project.

Are there other engine managment set ups out there that I should look into? try to figure out and use this calmap thing, and hook it up to a laptop? And install the wiring harness(Converts stock sensors over to GM Sensors)?

Im mostly looking to upgrade as So I can run higher boost. Right now it has the stock boost controller, and is running 15PSI.

Right now the car has a superchip installed. Also has a 155LPH fuel pump, and adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

Anyone running 25PSI of boost? (I know the engine should be able to handle it, engine has been allreworked, with a bigger cam, and ARP studs)

first off the brown 35lb injecotrs can support 250-300hp no problem, then disconect the stock bcs and get an adjustable boost controller and turn the boost up on that t3 to 18-20lbs a bone stock motor can handle that with no problem.

what is your ultimate goal for HP and such knowing that 1 (we) can give you better advice on which direction to go. also what exactly has been done to the engine.

for a intercooler a volvo 740 front mount is the most common upgrade and is radiator size. you can get one from 15-50 at the JY.
