Do I need bigger injectors? If you guys look at my current setup....which soon will be adding a LS6 intake.....do you think its necessary to upgrade to bigger injectors? I know when a buddy of mine was monitoring the car after the cam.....he said that some injectors were maxed out but have heard that those could be giving false reading sometimes.
What do you guys think?

U could run a tank W/ Red line injector cleaner first, and then monitor again. If I'm not mistaken 2000's have 26 lbs inj. those should be good for at least 400rwhp.
IMO before inj. I would change the fuel pump/

Predator: I recently ran some injector cleaner through it.....maybe like 4k ago..but I'm thinking about using some top engine clearner next time. I need an oil change so I might do that this weekend. But instead of changing the fuel pump, should I just get put in an in-line pump?

Not all injector cleaners are the same! From experience the Red Line is one of the best. You can actually feel the diff.
Yes you can run a "Booster" but think of the future and other mods to come.
Also changing inj. is not as simple as that. Tuning will have to be done also so the pcm operates the new ones properly.
Double check your tune first, then make a decision.
Maybe you could pick up some 98-01-02 injectors (28 lbs)from some poeple that changed theirs on this forum. Post in parts wanted or check e-bay.
