Default Am I setting myself up for issues with these injectors?

After reading this https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...ctor-size.html thread, I'm getting the feeling that the injectors I just purchased are waaaaaay overkill for my setup. I have a 230 int./236 exh. Comp Cams camshaft and AFR 1039 competition ported LT4 heads on a block that's been bored about .050. I was told that the stock injectors I was using were maxed out, so I picked up some Bosch 39 lb injectors because they were only $150. I have no idea how much power I'm making since my car hasn't been on a dyno yet.

The injectors haven't been installed yet, and my PCM was just sent out yesterday to get tuned for the bigger injectors. I'm guessing that I'm probably making somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 RWHP. Are these injectors a bad idea?

I'll probably end up going with a turbo setup next year. These 39 pounders will definitely be useful then.
