Default budget injectors?

looking for a set of not-so expensive injectors for a 383 build im doing.
they will need to fit a ls6 intake, along with the ls1 style connectors.
should be around 450-500hp

i was thinking anything between a 42# and a 60# should be sufficient.
what are my options?

+1 from above

on 450-500hp Naturally aspirated you will only need ~36# injectors, 42# would work out great. You most certainly do not need 60# injectors for that.

do you already have a 255 pump? I would suggest this with the wiring harness.

+3 on FIC. Send them your stockers and they'll rejet them for around $100. I would also go with the 42# injectors for what you need. Give them a call. They're very helpful.

30 bucks a injector isn't bad to have them upgraded but not as cheap as the eBay ones lol. On a budget build the extra cash saved can mean a lot

This. Give John a FIC a call. Last thing you want to do is cheap out on your fuel system.
