How much boost from stock injectors?

I went to the Edmonton AB snowmobile show and I spoke to a very reputable turbo builder who said he ran 11-13 pounds on "STOCK" M1000 injectors...Is this possible? :confused:
 
10k ft elevation is about the only way I see to do it. Injectors have a horsepower ceiling not a pressure ceiling (as in there is only enough fuel to support x amount of horsepower) Barometric pressure at sealevel is 14.7lbs, pressure at 10k feet is 10.1 lbs all other things being held equal so you instantly pick up 3.6 lbs of boost just to equal the horsepower you made at sealevel. You can also turn up the fuel rail pressure to make the injector act larger than it actually is.

If they are running at altitude with fuel pressure cranked up it's possible, but they're pushing it. Dare I ask who you talked to?
 
I've got a fuel flow meter on my dyno. I hooked both injectors up to 12 volts in an M8 and ran the fuel pump. They flowed enough to support about 205 horsepower.

On an M8, at altitude, you've got to run pretty high boost to see 205 actual horsepower. On an m1000 though?
