Drivetrain RC 440CC Too Much?

You might get some benefit but you'll really need an ECU upgrade to make it work. Under the stock program, you'll probably run pig rich.
As for bigger is better... It depends. If your running lean, then you do need bigger injectors. The problem with large injectors is that they can't spray a fine mist as well as the smaller stock system so when they aren't flowing a lot (like at idle), they tend to cause the engine to run a bit rough. Also, you don't want to just dump fuel into the engine; you'll actually loose power. Forced induction cars do need to run a bit rich (say 12:1) instead of the standard 14.7:1 but anything more is just cooling the combustion and loosing power.

M7tuning state the following with theyre 440cc injectors....
"These injectors are very high flow units, necessitating the use of outboard fuel computer or similar device, and as such are not recommended for lower horsepower applications"
They also state theyre for 250hp applications so i dont think remaps are viable with this size of injector
