INJECTORS OR LS6 manifold?!? Doin a torquer v2 cam with ported 243s, should I either stick with stock ls1 manifold with 42lb injectors or ls6 manifold with Stock injectors can't do both or i will be shot by wife help me out guys thanks
You MIGHT be able to get by with the stock injectors. I vote for the LS6 intake. Keep an eye out for some GTP injectors. they're 36# and you can usually get a set for around $100 used.

You are trying to make a decision between a need and a want. If the engine's airflow demands fuel beyond the capacity of your current injectors, then you have to get new injectors. If you add an LS6 intake and it throws the fueling demands beyond the injector capacity, then you have to get new injectors.
If you can't afford the possibility of needing to buy new injectors after getting the LS6 intake, then you should leave the engine as it is and check the injector duty cycle. You also need to keep in mind that the tune needs to be adjusted with any new injector sizing.

Very true. I'd imagine the guy is on a budget and anything better is definitely out of the question.
That said OP, an LS6 intake is certainly worth the cost over an LS1 piece. You get what you pay for here.
It may be possible that your setup would need bigger injectors, but they also may be sufficient for the time being. I'd go with the LS6 intake and take Mike Morris up on his very inexpensive offer. It's very possible the stock injectors may be reaching their max capability with your heads/cam setup.
I don't mean to be rude, but I think it would be wise to ignore slogo's comments here.

He is adding a Torquer V2 and ported 243s. I'm pretty positive those stock LS1 injectors are going to be taxed beyond their limit.
