Default Please help with injector size

I am looking at the racetronix injectors but cand decide whether to get a 32# or 37# injector set.
The motor is a 355 with ported LT4 heads/ LT4 intake and a cc306 cam and 1.6rr's.
Some people said I should use SVO 30# injectors, I have heard they flow around 34-36#'s but they are about the same price as the racetronix units and I amreally leaning toward the racetronix ones
I am also looking at the racetronix fuel pump and harness upgrade kit. has anyone had any experience with these that could give me some good advice.

I recommend u run the svo 30# injectors . They will work fine with your current setup. I highly recommend ebay the have some used thats been rebuilt and I just purchased and installed some svo24# and I gonna buy the 30s once I get my computer tuned. I haven't used the racetronix kits before but I heard nothing but good things about them!

^^^Are they new?

I hope to be around 425 to 450 Flywheel HP give or take so using that calculator I need around 35# for 450hp so if I go with the 37# injectors that would leave me some room for more power down the road.

Right???

It wouldn't be overkill if I was planning on a little spray down the road would it?
If anything would be over kill 42lbs would be overkill

I am just saying I saw them *Shrugs* I know LSx's running 42's stock as they were boosted and they are now doing another project. They just tuned to make up for the difference.

Just passing along finds. There were 35's too I forget what else I closed that window long ago.

450 fwhp x .07 = 31.5

30# SVO's are good for that, all depends if you are gonna spray or not.

Get the white bosch 36lb design 3 units. They are gxp takeout's I do believe. The bosch design 3 injectors have the best spray pattern out of all injectors. The Ford svo injectors are bosch design 2 units. They are a great injector, but the design 3 is the new and improved version. I just bought a reconditioned set for 110.00 on ebay.
