Default cam swap injectors?

I am currently getting ready to do a cam swap on my 98 ss m6, i have an MS3 cam, springs, rods, ls6 ported oil pump and ls2 timing chain. I recently was told i need bigger injectors, that makes total sense to me but would i need a new fuel pump as well if i were to upgrade to 42lbs injectors. Any suggestions on injectors to get as well? Any .02 is welcome.

would these work for my setup http://www.racetronix.biz/itemdesc.a...3165BA&eq=&Tp=


thanks

I really have no clue, I just bought the car in my sig and it runs fine, I guess. If I had new heads though I think it would run a LOT stronger.

My cam is a little bigger than yours but my stock injectors were at max when tuning started, car would only go to 5700 rpm, you could try red top 30lb or I went with 38lb ford, which is at 42 for ls1. After tune I was at 73% duty cycle. I'm on stock fuel pump and everything went fine with bigger injectors.

I have got a set of 38# from procharger that were too small as soon as i started tuning, have less than 75 miles on them.. Will take $300 for them (paid $425).. they are ev1 connector and will pop right in place..

artymarine, you can get the ford green tops cheaper then $300. Check the sponsors and see what they can do you for.
