382 and fuel (injectors)

I am installing a 382 with a 226.5 cam and all the bolt ons. Do I need bigger injectors?

Some people will say yes, but I'm still running on a completely stock fuel system and I actually have to lean my computer tuning out a bit.

Re: 382 and fuel (injectors)

The answer is yes i think LS1 guys tend to stray away from injector swaps because the software was just no there for them to reprogram the PCM. But i went from 24lb SVO injectors in my stroker to 30lb svo's (and programed the PCM for them) Because i had hit the limit of my injectors. And 24lb SVO's out flow stock LS1 injectors at the LT1 43.5 fuel PSI. So i would definently swap in some 30lb SVO injectors with out a doubt!
