New intake, need advice on injectors Just bought a Mamo 102 with rails for my 408, my question is what kind of injectors do I need?
not size, but style, it’s on cathedral heads

Your question actually makes no sense to me. Going to take a shot in the dark....
I think the FAST intake needs tall injectors (LS1 height). You can call up Fuel Injector Connection and they can set you up with tall body injectors with more modern internals that are faster with more precise fuel control at low duty cycle.
Don't use injector spacers. Those things lift the nozzle out of the airstream and cause fuel to puddle on the injector bore.

Verdad Gallardo 2 key items: connector type and injector height since you are not concerned with size
What are you putting this in? What kind of connector is on your harness? That will be key unless you want to use adaptors.
traditional Ls1 height EV1 connectors will work if you have a f-body harness.

Good deal. 
Don't use harness connector adapters either. Those things are total piles of ****. Buy an injector with the correct type of connector, or cut your connectors out and solder on new pigtails.

It’s going in my hugger 99 Z so the EV1 will work.......another quick question, I’m looking to go from my injectors now that my tuner says are too small....question is can I go to a 1000cc if I’m gonna turbo the car down the road or should I go 58 or a touch bigger? Will it cause driveability issues?

a good tuner can make almost any injector work properly. Have ran 80 pounders that acted just like stock.
buy a good brand name injector from the start, will save you lots of money and headaches in the long run. FIC has always done me good.
Talk to them about power goals with turbo and size accordingly.
Buy a set of injectors that can be reflowed to higher values when you turbocharge. Again, Fuel Injector Connection will point you the right way.
I've got my injectors sized to operate around 65% duty cycle so that all the fuel gets in the cylinder for that intake valve event. My injectors can be reflowed to double where I am now if I want.
