Heads and cam I had SVO 30# injectors and they were running about 80% duty cycle. So the stock ones would be higher than that. I would just get 42# injectors in case you run a dry shot or something and you would be prepared for most anything.

You cant go wrong with the Racetronics pump and 42# injectors. Thats the setup I have in my H/C car. The injectors are very easy to tune and at the power level that you will be at the stock injectors would be maxed out.
