Default Vortech Questions

I be getting a vortech pretty soon and i just had a couple of questions for you FI Gurus. I have Mac Headers, Offroad Y, and Borla catback with a cutout. With all if that exhaust will i lose much boost because of all the flow, Or can i still get up to 9 pounds? Second, what size injectors, are 38's about right? And lastly, I have a friend that knows alot about LT1's and LS1's and he mentioned that I should really think about pistons because of the power I will be around. (Note I will have a blower cam too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ) So with all that being said i hope you guys can point me in the right direction, thanks alot guys.

you might lose a # or 2 but you have factory heads right the 38 injectors should be fine if you stay at 9# or less the factory pistons should be fine
