Default 60lb injectors too big for cam only 6.0?

Right now i have 60lb injectors for a boosted 5.3 i was building. Well i just bought a 6.0 and now that i have the cubes im thinking about puttin a big cam in it for this summer to get the car running then this winter finish my turbo build on it. So for the time being will the 60lb injectors be just too big for it? I wanna run a ms4 cam or something along thoes lines. What you guys think?

With a decent size cam, you should have no problem with 60# injectors. The added idle rpm makes the bigger injectors easier to tune due to the larger idle fuel demand.

more airflow, therefore more fuel demand. you can also use a fuel pressure regulator, and lower you fuel pressure based off MAP to help control your injectors.... there are many ways to skin the cat.....etc

There's a misconception about 60 lb Mototron injectors being too big to tune at idle on stock cube cars running around the internet. I put a set of 60's in a low compression, stock cube, turbo car and they tuned in like stock at idle. If that combo will take a 60....anything stock cubed or larger will as well. Get the injector slope and the VE table correct, and it will idle at 14.7 all day long.
