From what I've been told through a reputable nitrous sponsor here 42# injectors are the way to go. (Nitro Dave's Nitrous Outlet)

Stock bottom right?

Bigger injectors don't add more power.

All you need is injectors big enough to add a sufficient quantity of fuel to the air your engine has ingested to provide a suitable air to fuel ratio. Getting more air in makes more power, unless you can't add enough fuel to get to the "best power" air to fuel ratio (somewhere close to 13:1 on n/a and nitrous engines).

something you should really discuss with your tuner. what size do you currently have? is the car running out of fuel on top end? is the car tuned for the current setup? what are you planning on doing in the future?

Like Stuart said, talk to your tuner.
Where are you getting it tuned? I see you're not too far from Dayton. There's a good LT1 tuner/dyno near there in Beavercreek.
Unless you're planning on a dry kit, SVO 30# injectors are all you will ever need, but...........your tuner needs to agree to that. Unfortunately not all of them subscribe to the same theories.
