I make 397 and am running SVO 30's. You could run 36's so you wouldn't have to worry about a high duty cycle while spraying and be fine.

Just get the SVO 42's.

The 36's would probably work but the 42's will give some room to grow with your N2O shot.

My stock injectors were fine up to 450whp. It depends if you plan on getting a wet N20 kit or a dry kit. The dry kit will require more injector. In this case the 42lb. injectors would work well. It cant hurt to upgrade them anyway but you will have to get a new tune for the car to run properly.

I'd go with the 42s also. I ran them on my old head/cam setup. Great idle, easy to tune, room to grow....

I run 36's with heads/cam and a dry 100 shot, on the stock fuel pump. It stays dead nuts on 12.5 air/fuel and the injectors run about 80% duty cycle.

Go with 60s from the get go. The 60s are easy to tune and will give you plenty of injector for the future. Trust me. I had to upgrade from 42s to 60s. When I just could have went straight to 60s. These injectors are easy to tune. Bob at EPP can get you 60's at a great price.
