Bigger injectors or adjustable FPR?

Wasn't sure where to post this, but since this is an E85 car I figured I would start in here and see what people think.

My dilemma: Should I buy FIC 2150's (~$800) or buy an adjustable fuel pressure regulator (~$220) to give me the headroom I think I will need on my FIC Bluemax 1450's. My fuel system consists of a BR double pumper, Perrin Fuel Rail, and FIC1450's. The car is sitting around 60% IDC at 22psi for break in purposes, but I have a feeling I will be close to 100% IDC once I turn the wick up to 35+ psi. Trying to be proactive and figure out my plan of attack on this.

Any input on where the 1450's should max out power wise? I would rather go w/ the cheaper of the two options, but don't want it hinder overall drivability or reliability.

I maxed out a set of FIC BlueMax 1450's with a PT6262 .82, built motor, 36psi, at 640whp on our dyno on E85

Stock fuel pressure? If that's the case I'm thinking the 1450's will be able to handle everything the HTA3582 can dish out. 640whp on your dyno is probably over 700whp on a dynojet.

If I recall correctly, 39 base and it also had BlapOps double pumper.

The car was detuned to 620whp for safety
