Default Wondering if I should upgrade injectors/fuel pump on full motor build

I'm starting to look around because I'm going to do a full motor build on my ls1 right now I have:
Ported 243's
Tsp 233/239
Forged pistons/rods
Fast 92mm ported
Etc.. I'm hoping to make over 450hp and I'm curious if I should get bigger injectors? If I did would it help me. I also plan on doing a 200 shot and also should I upgrade fuel rails / fuel pump thanks again!

You should perform some upgrades to support a 200 hit with 450 normally aspirated.
Feel free to give me a call to discuss in more detail.

Are you saying I'll have to do the full system? What size injectors would be fine with 600 hp

Or what size for around 475-450

you could just upgrade your injectors, take a look under the fuel and injector forum page, and find the STICKY for fuel and injectors that I made at the top of the page in yellow.
seen here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/fueling-i...ump-chart.html

the stock fuel pump, 190Liter per hour maxes out at 38LB/hr injectors, naturally aspirated this would give you ~450hp if I remember right.

if you upgrade to a 255 Liter per hour pump and say 42# injectors, which I don't think you will need THE INJETORS with the mentioned setup you will be good for 50# injectors.

I would recommend some #36 pound or so injectors and the racetronix PnP kit w/wiring harness. This would leave some breathing room on the setup mentioned above
