Default what size injectors?

my motor is being put together by Karl Ellwein. ESE#33.

block:383
factory 4 bolt main
howards track smart crank
howards billet rods 6.0"
mahle power pack pistons
12.1 compression

heads: advanced inductions
200cc dominator LT1 CNC heads
26120 beehive springs
custom manley severe duty stainless pro flo valves 2.00i/1.56e
street/strip LTx intake manifold with port matched geometry
custom billet cam 242/246 .584/.584 108lsa

i have all supporting bolt ons. Karl is waiting on my mains and rod bearings i had coated by swain tech. i want to be 100% all systems go and i dont think my #30lbs can handle this motor.

thanks
mike

Who's going to tune it?

If it were mine, I'd ask the tuner for his preference

E85 worth it? If so, what size injectors?

42 would be best. I have had svo 30's on mine for years and finally getting down to the intracies of tuning and found out my 30's were maxed out at WOT and causing a lean condition. The car is hardly driven and especially at WOT so really hasn't been that big a deal, but I figured I throw some 42's at it to get it the proper fuel at WOT.

Agree with all of the above. no less than 36lbs. 42 would be a safer move.
