Default new injectors

What are the limits of the stock LS1 injectors? (I have a 2004 GTO)
I am doing a head, intake, tb, headers, exhaust & cam swap. At what point do I need to look at the injectors? Have you heard of the Siemens / Motoron Deka injectors (#107961)???

The stock injectors are good to around 400rwhp. Im not familiar with the part number that you specified but I have Lucas/Delphi 42# injectors in my car and they work great and are extremely easy to tune. You might try posting this in the Fuel/injection forum for more responses.

I've also heard that the injectors will run out around 400-420 rwhp. I have the 26.4 lb injectors..running 385 rwhp and 90% IDC.

Thanks for the info guys. I will re-post in the Fuel/injection area.
With all my mods I plan on ~ 425-450 at the wheels so I take it I will need new injectors...
Are the stock ones 26.4 lbs?
How much were the Lucas/Delphi 42# injectors?

Seems like from what I have personally seen and what I have read online here is that putting in a larger injector and possibly a fuel pump (not required but good to do) will yeild more power over a stock injector/pump car when its apporaching 400 rwhp.

I was reccomended larger injectors with my LT's, ls6 intake, and vengeance camshaft. Went with #38's and guess what, it fired up on stock tune with all those mods done at once from stock! didnt even smell rich with open headers... Got the injectors used with arond 10k miles for 150 on this board, check the parts section bud! SVO injectors are good too!

Will the SVO injectors fit with the LS6 intake? What about stock fuel rails?

I would recomend reinstalling the stock injectors and driving to get it tunned. Reinstall the new injectors when you get there. Either that or get it towed.
