What Injectors should I get?

With my mods listed below what injectors should I get? I was thinking of Lucas 42lb injectors. I will also be doing heads soon.

i say get either the lucas/delphi or the fms 42lbers.everybody says both are very easy to tune in and they are capable of some pretty big numbers for future upgrades.

I bought a set of Lucas 38# injectors. I was told with the cam I got that my injectors would be maxed out. I will see tomorrow for sure when I am up at Speed Inc.

acording to the sticky in the fueling section =for 575 crank hp which would be around 500rw with an idc of 85 % with fuel pressure of 58 psi,bsfc of .045 it will take 32.xx injectors. bsfc of .050 it takes 36.xx.i have no idea what the lsx engines usually run in the bsfc range but figured around .045.i know that the best way to tell is run what you have and see exactly how high the duty cycle is but for rough estimates the sticky seems fairly accurate.
the original poster in this thread should have around 500 crank hp so i'd say svo 30lbers or larger would be minimum.i could be wrong,it definitely wouldn't be the 1st time.
