Exclamation is it worth it 550's or 850's

Is it worth it to run 850's and 1200" or just go 550's and 1200's if your only running 16psi? i know the 850 primaries are almost impossible to get perfectly tune at the low end but will the 550's be enough for that much boost, and if so will they take 18psi?

I run 550's and 1300's @ 15psi. I see 85% duty cycles at full boost.

I am running 550/1200, GT35R, stock ports, Nippo improved pump, running 85% duty cycle at 15psi boost in summer, closer to 90% in winter.

I am on the edge, and need bigger injectors..

Only one "bad" trip to the dyno since going single. Bad breaking up above 5000 rpm. Discovered that my Crane HI-6R went bad after 6 years use. Only made 352RWHP at 15psi that day. Have not gone back since. Have changed to different plugs and added a different ignition amplifier. Power should be about 385RWHP.

i could live with that, i put down 320 to the wheels on my stock ported motor and 12psi so 385 would be killer

I haven't, I don't know about Chuck. At Deal's Gap it was awesome though. I was very pleased with the power. The road race tires I have help...
