Default Planning on heads/cam, but quick question

I'm considering heads/cam over the winter, and being dart 225's and a strong cam(undecided at the moment). My question is though, should i get bigger injectors if I don't plan to go nitrous or forced induction soon?

You could just buy my 42's!
You wouldn't even have to pay shipping cause i could just bring em to you!

But to answer your question, you might want to think about bigger ones.
I think this falls under the category of you don't HAVE to, but its prob a good idea.

I'll also have a set of used 30lb red tops for sale here soon too.

I'm not trying to talk you into anything, but this may help you make your decision.

Here's a screen shot of a run from the other night using my SVO Red Top's



Notice the white line is the injector duty cycle at WOT, 73% and rising.
Still a bit rich tho.

That's with all the mods in the sig.

I'd also do some searching in the fuel and injection section as well.
Lots of comments on what people got and what they need in there.
Good luck man.
