Default Lq9 fuel injector question

Hi I’m building a LS for my 68 camaro. I got a lq9 with 243 heads, sloppy stage 2 cam, ls6 intake manifold. I plan to us the terminator x. I was was wondering if it’s worth upgrading my fuel injectors? If so any suggestions

Which injectors do you have now?
The LS7 intake will NOT bolt to 243 heads which are cathedral. LS7 heads are unique and so is its intake manifiold. It won't work on anything else. Get that sorted out before discussing injectors.

my bad typo it’s a ls6 intake not ls7 . I was looking up ls7 lifters and had that stuck in my mind. The current injectors are gm 0280155931.

I had almost the same motor. Don't run the factory injectors. Just go get a set of flex fuel injectors from the junk yard. All the injector data you need to make them run right is already in the Holley software NOT the touch screen. Plug in a laptop and just click from the drop down menu what part number you have. Flex fuel injectors are around 36-38 pound and good for 500 hp with 93 pump gas.

To make them fit an LS6 intake and fuel rails you will also need injector spacers from ebay, but they are really cheap.
