Default Big injectors?

I'm eventually going for 1000 RWHP but for now im shooting for 550 RWHP on a stock ls1. Can I get by on 120lb injectors and still idle? I'll be using EFI Live and its a turbo setup.

I'm making 550RWHP with 79# injectors... damn 120 is huge. what brand injectors? do you have any of the data to tune with them? tables etc?

Someone with some experience with that is going to have to chime in. When I'm not in boost and part throttle mine runs great, however, I had all the information to tune mine from the manufacturer.

You planning on running E85 eventually?

If you think about it, a turbo car is essentially an N/A car when it is idling and pulling vacuum. So, you should be able to run that large of an injector for your current lower power goal. You just won't be using very much of that 120# injector's capacity.
