Question Are 37# Injectors to big?

I'm planning on doing a LE1 setup and I'm wondering if 37 pound injectors are too big for that setup? Also, do I need a new fuel pump with this setup and 30 pound injectors? What about if I do run the 37s?

Something to remeber, as you rev higher the injector has less time to feed the necessary fuel, a setup like this will spin fairly high and good tuning should make the 37lbs. injectors work fine. Plus they would give you some room to grow something too often overlooked in the mod process. How many of us actually ever say "well that is enough power I think I will stop modding"? The 30lbs. would work FOR NOW but what about when that power bug bites again, better to just go with the 37lbs. and not have to buy a bigger set in another year.

Thanks. Yeah I just wasn't sure if there was "too big" of an injector for a setup.
