Injector Flow Rates

Right...

I used an online 'flow' calculator and for a naturally aspirated V8 hoping to make 450 bhp, I would need injectors that flowed 370cc.

I can lay my hands on 420cc ones at a fair price... is there a problem with these being too large?

That's not too far off.

If you have injectors that are way too big you'll have difficultly controlling fuel flow at low fuel requirements.

By those are only 10-15% over. It's not a bad idea to have a little overhead any incase you make a bit more than planned
