Fuel questions before I go to the dyno I'm new to this platform but I do a lot of reading, and researching. I have looked around and haven't found a concrete answer for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I have a h/c/I ls1 that I want to run a 150 wet shot of nitrous on. First thing I discovered was I'm going to have to upgrade my fuel pump since it's still stock. I also found out I need to change my spark plugs and I know which are the best as well. The only question I can't seem to find the answer to is if my stock injectors will be enough for my setup?
I was thinking about going this route as far as the fuel pump is concered. Please let me know if this is overkill.

stock injectors aren't good for much above a few bolt on mods to be honest. the factory pump if you look in the fuel & injector sticky, is only good for 8 x 38LB/hr injectors. So you could take your 28# injectors out and have them re-flowed to say 36# and have some room left.
OR simply take your injectors, have them re-flowed to 42# (and get tuning data) and grab a 255 L/hr pump and be set for things to come.

What about just buying a set of 42lb injectors? I saw that racetronix offers some. I was thinking since I need a 255 I was going to get their pump and hotwire kit and order the injectors all at one time.

Wow thanks I appreciate that I'm going to definitely go that route. I'm guessing after I get them back I would basically have to have my car at the shop to be tuned or will it run?
What would you recommend as far as my fuel pump problem is concerned?
