Default Injector Sizing

I am trying to figure out what injectors I need for the 403 I am building. Normally aspirated and I am looking for 600 crank hp on pump gas. Using the deatschwerks calculator and a max duty cycle of 85%, I get #40 injectors.

I am thinking of getting a set of new #42 bosch injectors (should keep the duty cycle in a decent zone and still leave me a little bit of headroom).

Sound right?

Thanks

42lb injectors will work just fine for an NA 403.

You could also look for the green top injectors, which would be 44 lb/hr. I'm running Accel 44 lb/hr injectors on my setup, which makes 447 rwhp. Plenty of injector left.
