Default Will I need new injectors?

I have stock injectors (and fuel pump for that matter). Will be adding heads/cam/intake:
224/224 .581/.581 112 cam
Absolute Speed 5.3L heads
All supporting additions with it: LS2 timing chain, LS6 ported oil pump, etc.

Current mods:
Hedman LT's
Airlid
4.10 gear

Provided I have a good tune afterward, I'm thinking I'll get near 410-415rwhp total. Will I need bigger injectors?

You'll definately be maxing out your 26.4's, I would upgrade to some SVO 30 lbs. at least (which run at 35-36 lbs. on our fuel system).

Got a suggested site to find them? A guy has a set of 50# injectors in the swap section for $225, but I think that's overkill by far. The h/c is probably as far as I'll ever take the car, honestly.

Just be patient and look around in the sale section, I found some for $150 awhile back.

You can usually get some SVO 30#s on the Ford forums.
Yes there is a use for the BLUE oval.
