Default Injector size correct?

So I am doing a heads cam package from Advanced Induction. He said to get injectors rated for between 530 to 580 horsepower at the crank. I did the injector calculator, it came out with a 46 lbs/hr injector.

Any help would be great with size and what brand.

Thanks

You could find a larger generic injector on sale, ie Mototron 60#'s or whatever. As long as the parameters are correct in the tune, it should not matter. + later if your plans change for more HP, your covered. Though for a N/A engine, I'd say a #60 is big enough.

You want to stick with a bosch racing ls1 style injector.50lb 4bar should work out for you. We have them brand new and re built.

So does this mean you can oversize an injector and it wont be a problem? Just adjust in the tune?

To an extent. With today's tuning software you wouldn't have a problem scaling an injector that is 20% larger. We like to spec injector sizes with room to grow.
