Default Injector size?

I was wondering if my 28# stock injectors would be big enough for my car. I have an lq4 with milled heads and a texas speed 228r cam and it is going in a 68 nova. It will get a tune from someone and the car will have 1 3/4 headers

you must run those at 58 psi as they are really 24lb injectors, with the higher compression and the 228 you will be almost maxed a 32 at 3bar would be 36 at 58psi which would be my choice,

I am new to injector selection, so this may be a dumb question, but does it make a difference if they came off a cts-v? Thanks for the help

They should still be the 28#ers FIC is talking about above. What kind of pump are you planning on running?
