Default Injector size question

I am currently deciding on whether or not I want to put fuel injection on my first gen SBC 383. It will be making about 600-625 HP at the FLYWHEEL. I need to know if someone could tell me what size injectors to run or if there is a standard formula to figure this stuff out. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I remembered seeing a sticky somewhere but I didn't think it was on this site.

ws6firebird is right you should be fine with something around 50lbs N/a if you add a power adder I would go with 60lbs, Thats what I had but ran a supercharger, and worked great.
