Mazworx has a sweet plot of Bosch 1600's that go way non-linear around 1.5mS, if you want to see some ugliness.
Bottom line is, if you're going to see over 350whp frequently, you need more than 550's on standard fuel pressure. So your best options are 740's (see above) or running 550's on 4 bar of fuel pressure.
SR's cant run much more than 400whp on pump gas reliably, and I dont think he is trying to build a race gas machine here. Have you compared a flow plot of 550's vs 740's of similar make / model? I have yet to see a correctly tuned injector swapped car.
