Default Will 30's work?

Stock cubed LT1
Mild LE heads
Small 216/220 (crane 227) cam
1.6rr
Headers
Cat back
Powerdyne runing at 6.5
Madtuner mail tune

I would say around 420 Wheel HP (optimistic). Will 30lbs injectors be enough? Mostly a street car, very little track.

Advise?

check that out, 30's wont be close to enough. Id get 60's and call it a day but 42's are another option.

Correction/ Not enough info....

I am running the FMU that came with the kit with the stocker injectors. With the cam, heads, headers and RR will the 30s be enough with the FMU. .

Thx, Jim

ditch the FMU, and do it the right way with proper sized injectors. those FMU's while a decent idea when no other option exists arent a good way of going about it IMHO. all it takes is a vacuum leak and pop goes the motor...
