Hopefully the low side was good to go but the high side just couldn't pump it. I now have the LT4 injectors and high side pump so we will see what happens tomorrow on the dyno.

If it was the high side that was the limiter then I can see a bottle system plumbed into the low side working out. On pump gas at least.

Also on a DI engine and FI, all air is already ingested and being compressed when the fuel is being put in. So 6 PSI of boost say 30% greater air charge is being compressed 11.5 to 1 as the fuel is going in. Total combustion chamber PSI will be much higher (higher head) vs a liquid induction via the intake. That is a lot more head vs a N20 where it is mainly liquid by weight and does not vaporize fuller till near or past TDC.... The flow rate of a liquid is roughly the square root of the pressure delta. Long story short, I'm not surprised that a FI engine has far more dynamic compression than a liquid inject over NA engine, leading to higher head pressure and lower delta of rail to chamber => less fuel flow into the engine per any given HP.
