Default fuel injector/tuning question

I have a '99 Z28 with lid, ls6 intake, ported TB, JBA shorty headers, LM 1 cat back, SLP UD pulley, 3.73 gears and am wondering if my 26lb injectors are good enough for that. Reading about the difference between years it says that the '99 had a larger cam but smaller injectors, doesn't really make sense to me. Any help is appreciated.

99 has barely larger cam but was choked with a shitty intake compared to the 01-02 with a smaller cam, but a way better flowing intake.

Your 26lbers are fine.
