Default Need some advice

I recently purchased an lq9? Iron blocked 6.0. I have a whipple supercharger and would like to know what injectors to run ( lbs ). I would like to push about 8lbs of boost. I took the factory heads off and had them gone thru. New valves, springs, little port work etc, and will run a bigger cam to compliment the whipple. I have no idea what power this should produce but would like to see 500 or little better. I would also like to know if it is worth the trouble to change the intake to ls6 or better. I appreciate any help

Whipple replaces stock intake doesn't it?
60 pounders would be good. With a good single upgraded pump. That can get you to 500rwhp or so. Whipple don't fit in fouth gen so assume its going in something else?Truck?

You of course need tuning to run the 60s.

The motor is going in a 67 chevelle. The truck intake is still on the motor but the whipple does not replace it. I just got the whipple in trade and thought it would be supercool! I have run carbureated forced induction but never FI. I am excited to get started though. Just a little unsure in the direction to go.
