Default Injector advice

After my getting screwed by the dealership, I have decided to go with a lingenfelter SB with cam installed by them. I also plan on doing LS6 intake and new heads. Heads might come from lingenfelter. I am also doing headers. What size injectors would be recommended?I have a 2000 WS6 M6 and I believe the injector size is 26 lbs. What are ZO6 injectors?I found a set of those I can get. Any idea?

Default What size I need?

What size injectors does anyone think I will need for this application?I dont know what size to go with. Can I get some Ford racing ones that I have seen around?Any idea whether these are good or better than aftermarket ones?I hear these are good for the LS1/LS6.

the Ford 30's are a good enough injector to suit your goals.

If I was going to spend the money, I'd do it one time ... go with 30# Ford injectors. I've heard they are easy to tune in and they will support future changes if you decide to go with a stronger application.

THANKS ALL, I heard about putting Ford injectors in my car, but I wasnt sure the benefits on putting something with the dreaded "F" word in my car. I bought a GM for a reason, but if it works good it works good. All but the best for my car

I've had a set of the Ford SVO 30# injectors in my car since June of 2002. They are actually 36# injectors at the stock fuel pressure of a LS1 engine. No complaints at all.
