Question SC guys, will larger injectors help?

I have the 36lbs in right now, I getting ready to do a cam swap, will larger, say 42 lbs injectors make a difference over the 36??

Much safer to go bigger....I have a set of DLM (Bosch) 50lbs high impedence for sale. About 200 miles and 7 dyno runs on them. $500 new, will do $300 shipped to your door.

They are to small for my application and want 65 or 72's

Save your self the money and get 60lbs instead of the 42lbs especially if u are going to run a cam and a SC. I maxed out my new 42lbs injectors around 530rwhp and had to sell them and get the 60lbs injectors. Now with 60psi fuel pressure Im running around 70% DC which is where it should be.

yea I already have the vortech on with 9lbs of boost. Will the inline pump handle the larger injectors or will I need to go to a larger in tank pump as well?
