well depending on how much nitrous you are going with you may want bigger injectors, When it comes tune time you will find out.
like stated above better to be safe.

Are you running a dry nitrous shot or a wet kit. A dry shot requires bigger injectors and a wet shot does not. I recomend upgrading the fuel pump also. If you want to upgrade the injectors 42# injectors will be plenty and give you room to grow. You will need a new tune for the larger injectors also.
