Default Are 30lb injectors enough for a 427ci motor?

Here is the breakdown:

LME 427ci LSX

Block: LSX cast iron
Crankshaft: Callies Compstar 4.0” stroke
Rods: Lunati billet rods 6.125
Bearings: Clevite H-series rod, main, and cam
Pistons: Wiseco 4.125 9cc
Rings: Childs and Albert Fire Power
Camshaft: most likely around a 253/259 6xx/6xx 112lsa
Heads: MTI Stage 3 ls-6 heads, with head studs, and PRC dual valve springs
Roller Rockers: Jessel 1.7
Intake: FAST 90mm with NW 90mm TB

Injector: 30lb SVO's(not sure if these will suffice)
Fuel System: Racetronix 340 kit(I was told that this should support 650 rwhp).
I am also not 100% sure if the car has a volt blaster too.

I figure the car should be around 550/500 through an auto NA.


Will 30lb SVO’s be enough injector or should I upgrade to 42’s or above?
I know they flow at 36lb's, but should I go ahead and upgrade before the SD tune?
I never did get a chance to view/log the duty cycle of the injectors on my previous MTI 427ci motor.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!

as long as you have AWESOME idle airflow to take advantage of the 60#ers which at our fuel pressure actually 72#ers, get the 60#ers. to further explain that reasoning, you will have a rich idle due to the injectors just being so durn big compared to the amount of air you are taking in for the motor

OTHERWISE:
stock is 28.8 on our ls1 cars from 01' year ; so i would guess for a 427 there is no way in hell reliably they will work

im currently running 430hp and 440tq roughly and using 42#ers which act as 48.8#ers at 58psi fuel pressure and im hitting 65%duty cycle

I would get 48 or 50's and you would be set

www.racetronix.com to give you an idea

ALSO http://www.rceng.com can make you anything you want and give you flow test numbers and bench them and EVRYTHING

I have been advised from many to go with the Siemens 60 lb/hr (630cc/min) high impedance injectors.
I just placed my order and they should be here in a few days.


Here are the specs(if anyone cares):

don't expect that pump to take you to 650rwhp either...

Did they also tell you how the spray pattern varies between the two? I'm curious...I run Bosch 30 lb/hr injectors in my bolt-ons car, but I never bothered to see what the spray pattern was like. They definitely behaved differently than the stock injectors when it came to adjusting the fueling though...
