Should I upgrade injectors

I'm installing a new combo in my truck and was wondering If I should go ahead and get larger injectors coming.

New set-up is stock LQ4 bottom end w/arp hardware
PRC 2.5/5.3 heads milled .02" (59cc)
224/236 .607/.609 111+2
LS6 int w/PP TB
1 5/8 shorty swap headers with 2.5" TD with powerpack resonators

HSW Plate kit 150 hit
walbro 255 pump
25% UD pulley
t-56 with 3.73's

I have the stock 28lb inj. from my ls1.......will they be good enough or should I go ahead and upgrade to something like the SVO #30??

30 would be nice for N/A, but will they provide enough fuel for that 150 shot ??

Go 36lb/SVO 30lb and be safe.
