Default Will 36lb injectors be enough?

I just sold my motor and am going to buy a 383 off a guy on the site. The motor will have TFS heads, a blower cam, and a single plain with a monoblade.

Will the 36lb injectors off my motor now be enough for the 383 until I get the F1 on the car? I just don't want to buy injectors right away if I don't need to. And since the motor won't be that radical with a blower cam, I just wanted to know if the 36's would be enough. Thanks

If you're just using a blower cam and no blower, 36#s should be fine.

Once you add the blower I'd be more comfortable with some 42#s plus.

Once I do add the blower I might be going with 50# injectors. But for now I just want to reuse the 36's I have.

Yeah, you'll be fine with those injectors in the mean time. I'd even look into getting some Siemen's 60# injectors to leave room on the table for more boost.
