i dunno exactly but i would think a minimum of the svo30 red tops. I think the green tops would prolly be a little better and possibly give you a little room to grow later.

A moddest upgrade wouldn't hurt but you don't need to go to crazy unless that 150 shot is a dry shot.

They should swap over assuming you are using a ls1 based manifold and stock rails. I didn't see you were going with a big cubed motor but you still shouldn't need anything huge. Maybe a 42# injector. Somewhere in that neighbor hood.

my factorys were max'd out with a tr224 cam. I switched to SVO30s which are 36 pounds for us and the tuner said i was in the low 80 % duty cycle. That should give you an idea bc thats only a cam/exhaust car.

They can be scaled back so no the 42#'s arent to big but if it were me I might go with a set of flow matched instead . Little more money but better for your car.

New Era has real good prices on them or I can get them for you as well, I have a few set of 60#'s here for a few customers of mine but will gladly assist.

Anything for a sale?

42's will flow 48.5 on your car, that's about 20 extra over your stockers. Too much for your setup.
The 60's are not even an option.

Get the right injectors for the current setup. You will be much happier and it will be easier to tune. Better driveablity too.

Call Jon at Fuelinjectorconnection.com for an honest opinion and recommendation.

He can get you some that drop right into your LS1 and will work great and they are flow matched.
