you would use the jetting to add the correct fuel. The injs would not be "involved" in covering the added fuel requirement when spraying.
At 39pph, those injs would be good to cover approx 525FWHP. NOTE: FWHP, not RWHP.

LS3 injectors are 42#.. you shouldn't need bigger ones.

A wet kit only puts extra work to your fuel pump, not your injectors.
