Default LT1 injector upgrades

what are people running for injectors now. Every thread I can find is 10 years old. Want to upgrade to 30lb or 36lb. Mine are oe with 180k on them. I don’t want to argue about why I don’t need more than stock injectors.

LT1 stock bottom end
MTI ported heads with 2” and 1.6” valves
xfi 467 cam
headers
58mm throttle body
3.73s
3000 stall

Depending on what fuel you're running, 93 octane gasoline 30# or 36#, E85 42# - 46# injectors.

Pretty big cam for stock CID. Probably not enough stall, either especially running larger valves. No idea if you're going to run E85, but on gas, if you're going to with more CID in the future then go for 36#. If not, 30 should do you just fine. MTI? Haven't heard about their heads since the 90's when Gallant was porting them. Are they new? BTW, even if the info is dated, this platform hasn't changed and HP is HP.
