buddy of mine is running stock 24lbers with a 383.. they arent even max'd out. I have some 24# FMS injectors if youd like. less than 20 miles on them. (they flow about 28lbs on our cars). $150

I have TrickFlow 30# and I'm happy with em. I have heard people suggest going with 42# and then having the PCM tuned for it giving you room to grow. I don't plan on growing that much! I guess it depends on what your long term goals are to avoid buying the same part twice.

I'm running 30# SVO's and love em'. Love the SVO's as they actually flow a little more on the LT-1's due to the higer fp than on the fords. If you are spraying or going forced induction then go bigger but 30#'s are just fine.

They flow 25.5 on ours, but close

30lb Fords would be plenty. Good, reliable Bosch manufactured injectors.

Whatever size you decide to run I would suggest you get the Ford SVO aka Bosch. 30's will have a dark red top, 36's a navy blue, and 42's a hot green. If it were me I would get atleast 30's.
