Cut off existing pigtails, solder new ones in, solder one wire to the injector, others through the resistor box. This takes a few hours, and is a bit of a pain in the butt. Make sure you ask RC engineering which pigtail part number will fit your custom injectors, and buy them ahead of time. I went to _11_ auto parts stores to get the pigtails I needed, most stores will only carry one replacement pigtail, and NO store will know which part number will match your injector. I brought mine in, they let me into the back storeroom area, showed me to the pigtail shelf and let me go nuts, trying to figure out which one fit. It was a pain. Save yourself a day of driving around town, find out which injector pigtails to get ahead of time, and preorder 5 (1 spare in case you mess up the soldering).

Just FYI to save $ and time/headache just buy these 785cc injectors from UR:

Save $200, plus no pigtail shit, no spacer issues etc. Comes with everything you need. I have custom 755cc injectors. They work great. RC is a rip off.

The picture of the injectors on their site shows pigtails. Are you saying that they have drop-in injectors that don't require you to cut the old connectors and solder on new ones? I have been wanting to upgrade my injectors and checked into RC. The pricing for the 440s on the UR site puts them right around the same price as RC. Is the price difference you mention only applicable to the large injectors?

4 pigtails for injectors: $12
4 720 cc custom rc injectors: $700ish
UR is $495 for 5 785cc with ALL the parts you need.
Yes you do have to cut and solder(only way to use different impeadance injectors) but you don't need to go to home depot for spacers or 11
parts stores to find the pig tails.
Everything you need comes with the UR kit and fits/works and it's cheaper. No brainer if you ask me. Just trying to save others time/hassle. Nothing against RC, but an injector is an injector is an injector.

For my own information, does UR make something in the 380 range or will they make something custom?

They should make you 380 if that's what you want. But why go from 360 to 380? Even 440 is pretty pointless for most situations.
It is much easier to tune out fuel(ie running with larger injectors and a fuel computer) than add fuel with high fuel pressure bandaids like FMUs.
