Default Injector question

I have an ASA motor that has been converted to wet sump with LS6 intake and heads. Currently, it has 42-lb. injectors, but I'm thinking that might be a bit more than I need, and am contemplating 28-lb injectors.

So this is a fairly mild setup--but what size injectors would the experts here recommend ?

Fairly mild... Still has the ASA cam? any plans for future mods?

If so, Keep the 42# injectors. You want to be around 75% duty cycle at WOT. 28.8 might be too small. If memory serves me right, they should be white, Bosch 3's. same ones that came off the old supercharged V6 Pontiac GTP's.

Thanks Dr., I guess I'll keep them. Engine dynoed 440/427 lbs-ft with the LS1 heads and intake, I figure high 400's with this setup. Car only weighs 2675, so the first engine in it will give me a nice baseline for future performance adds....
