I understand that in principle the stock injectors should be able to keep up until 325HP or something like that.  But I'm pretty sure that mine 10y old injectors no longer can do this, and I would suspect many other's injectors to have degraded as well.

I don't know your particular injector "story". How many miles or years to they have on them? Have you taken good care of them? All that plays into the issue if they can "keep up".
