Default What sie injectors for my engine?

I am building an LT1 engine. It will be the following:
355 fully forged rotating assembly, 4 bolt splayed main caps, 9.5 compression ratio pistons, Ported and polished stock heads, 2.02/1.60 valves, 918 beehive springs, titanium retainers, Comp Cams pro magnum 1.6 full roller rockers with ARP studs, ARP head studs, Comp Cams custom turbo cam, Edelbrock intake with 58 mm throttle body, STS GT 67 turbo kit with 2 stage electronic boost switch. (Parts are already in my garage, so please don't make other recommendations )
No intercooler at installation time, coming later

My question is this: Can I install this with 60# injectors, running 6 lb. of boost? I have LT1 Edit, so I can tune it immediately for the larger injectors. But I am also aware that they might be too big for short injector cycles.
When the intercooler is installed, boost will be upped to 12#, which the calculators have told me will require the larger injectors. The calculators also say that I should stick with my current 42s with the lower boost, but I would prefer to go ahead and use the 60s that I have sitting in a box.
Thanks in advance.

if you can get in touch with gametech up here, he can probably help you tune those 60# injectors to where they will idle and run fine.

he messed with a LOT of the injector tables to get all of it running right on a stock ls1, so doing yours should be no problem
