What are your goals?

Bigger injectors.
Mill your 243 heads.
Custom grind cam.

Is your car M6? A4?

You're going to need at the very least some new headgaskets and headbolts. Also a new timing chain unless you have a low mile LS2 on there.

I'd suggest some 42 lb injectors. You'll have room to grow a bit with them

What year motor? Ls6 intake also is worth the swap, unless you got one on already.
