Default Ls1 with vortech V9 g trim supercharger

Anyone on here familiar with this system recently purchased a beautiful 2000 trans am ram air witth only 7000 miles and this system on it. Wondering if anyone is familiar with it and know if i can get on it without any worry the previous owner informed me that it might need bigger injectors. The supercharger kit came with 38lb injectors but vehicle was tuned and dynoed with 473 rear wheel hp and owner informed me that the injectors were at their max wondering if i should tune the vehicle down or what should i do to keep it safe? Any help

Racetronix F99+ system will support upwards of 600RWHP and 700RWTQ in some applications. The pump we installed from Racetronix is rated 270L/Hr at 43.5PSI - 235L/Hr at 58PSI

The previous owner told me he never changed the pulley that came with the kit

I use to have a G-trim with the 38lb injectors (rated at 3 bar). What is the IDC now? Intercooled or non-intercooled?

It held up good till I upgraded to the t-trim and upped the boost to 12 lbs then I blew a head gasket and went ahead and forged the bottom end.

It is inter cooled was dynoed at 473hp at the wheels. And has those same injectors that's my concern with that kinda boos n power I am worried it needs larger injectors I'd prefer to simply tune the car down to a safer setting
