Default Do I need bigger injectors with my mods?

After lots of research I am back to this board... I am trying to see if I need bigger injectors with my mod list. Here it is...

Fast 92/92
799 heads
Torquer V2 cam package 232/234 112 lsa
Edelbrock 1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 longtube headers
TSP 3" ORY
DMH electric cutout on I pipe
Magnaflow catback
Whisper lid with k&n
Slp maf
Slp bellows
Free mods
Tune by ellis at speed secrets

I think thats all my engine power adder mods... With that being said I am going to dyno tune soon and want to know if my stock injectors are being pushed to their limits. I am guessing I'll be around 430-445 rwhp and it seems that fast 36# injectors would be best suited for me. What do you guys think? Are injectors considered "power adders"? And if I need them I will buy them so I have them for my upcoming dyno tune. Thanks guys. I will be happy to answer any questions if you guys have them for me. As far as future mods, I am basically done for a while on power adders...for now... Gotta get my suspension finished now.
Thanks guys!

You will be close. I just got my T/A tuned yesterday and it made 447/406 on the stock injectors but they were maxed out the last 100rpms. If you want to be safe you could add injectors.

trash your stockers. grab some 36# or 42#, depending on how much more work you want to do later on (mods)

Will the fast 36# ones increase my overall power gains on a dyno?

No, they will only make as much power as your set-up potentially can make. The only way to see a gain from an injector swap is if the other ones were running out.

P.S. I'm stealing your avatar
