The motorsport red tops are 36lbs. You would be at there MAX comfort level with that HP range. Blue tops(30#) are good for 400hp. I would suggest some 42lb lightning injectors. Green tops..

Or some GM white Bosch injectors, from the supercharged 3.8 Pontiacs.

Also rated at 42#

They should be good to around 475 RWHP. I have the SVO #30 red tops and they haven't missed a beat in 4 years. Are you looking 500 at the motor or the wheels? If it's the wheels you may want to get a bigger injector or if you ever think you'll spray it go bigger.

red tops are 30lbs at Ford pressure, 36 at the LS pressure.

run them with a datalogger. if your duty cycle is higher than 80% then go higher.

I agree i would be at 45Owhp, but my injectors fall short. Tuner said get 42lb injectors and get this baby over 450 at the wheels

Midevil.... What up with the vette bash... None of those cars look better than my vette... Or will hit 190 + mph like my vette. Or go thru the cones like my vette.... Lol

Pretty sure that mustang would hit 190 faster then your vette. Lol but I still love a low vette!!
