Default Ford Green Tops overkill on H/C/I LS1?

Found a set of flow-matched Ford green tops, 42# at Ford pressure from what I believe, and am worried that they would be overkill on a H/C/I LS1. Worked 243's, LS6 intake, 232/234 .595 .598 cam, full exhaust. Can anyone shed some light? Using a calculator it showed 36# would probably do it, would a low duty cycle on larger injectors do any harm? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Allen

If you found them for a good price grab them. You'll have room to grow in the future this way, and no it won't be a problem to tune them back a little bit. Just make sure whoever is tuning the car knows they're there and have dealt with it in the past.

You won't have any issues, just room to grow.
