Default Injector Questions for my stock truck intake 408

Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone else is running the 8.1 marine injectors on a stock truck intake with a stock wiring harness? The engine is a 408 with 317 heads with a .550 or so cam. Ive been researching new injectors for the engine because i dont believe the stock injectors are big enough. Im leaning towards the marine injectors due to the plug and play thing with the wiring harness and intake and all that. Before i pull the trigger is anyone else running this set up and are you happy with it?? Thanks in advance!!

Is it leaning out? If not your injectors are fine.

Its not running yet, I'm still putting the engine together... I was under the impression the stock injectors are only good to rev to 5500...

Injectors are related to power output, not RPM. How much power do you anticipate making?

Ive seen a few other guys with similar set ups making about 475 whp. Im hoping to make around 450 at the tire maybe less. The stock injectors have 180 000 kilometres and i wouldn't mind a bit of room to grow with an upgrade...

What engine did the smaller injector come from?

Sorry it came from an LQ9 out of a 2003 escalade.
