Just get big enough injectors to give you a little headroom. As long as the injectors are high impedance, you can make 200+ lb/hr injectors idle on a stock computer.

On this Forum: Is there a complete list of injectors part numbers to flow rate? Or injectors to horse power, or from stock injectors to a upgrade based of modification?

There are probably 100,000 injector part numbers out there. As far as I know, there is no list of all of them.

Stock LS1/6 injectors are around 30 lb/hr and are good to around 400whp on gas if you push them.
Flow is proportional, so 60 lb/hr would be good to 800whp on gas if you pushed them.

Do the math from there.

Do you have a reputable 60 Ibs injector you can suggest?

Siemens Deka. If you're going to get those, you might as well go with the 80s. Price is almost the same.

For a N/A build use this formula. (HP/2) / 6.4 = Injector psi.

So: 500hp/2 = 250. 250/6.4 = 39lbs.

That gets you an injector working at 80% duty cycle. Then just shop for that size or close to it.
