Yes, I'm running 50# MSDs. On those runs I was at around 80% injector with the alky (actually methanol). If you plan on running anything bigger than a 44/49 might as well go with the biggest injectors you can for the stock ECM. I think the chipmakers have a good handle on them and I don't remember seeing any complaints about driveablility.
I think with a better flowing intercooler, it will help reduce the pressure loss from the turbo to the intake. To be producing 27lbs boost, I might be making 30lbs at the turbo and losing 3 or more across the stock IC. As some people have mentioned in other threads, this might be out of the turbos efficiency range. Will be interesting to see how much a front mount will help me. I'll probably need a cage first though....
The 28" tires help out in two ways. First, it definitely seems to grip better. If I was on 26" tires I'd be spinning them more often in the cold weather. Secondly, it helps lower the rpm on the top end. Too much rpm will be out of the power range of the stock cam. Also helps to keep the rpm down it you want the engine to last longer. This will also depend on how efficient your converter is and whether you lock it or not. My converter is not very efficient. 26" tires are not an option unless I want to put it in overdrive (I don't).
My rpms are still too high and my mph is a tad low for my ETs. With a multidisc lockup converter I could probably shave a .1 or more off my ET. With a better 60' when it warms up I could be looking at 11.2s or so on a new converter. Not bad for a stock setup.
