Default Need to know asap: injectors
Do the larger pound actually free up some horsepower or just support it? Would 50# Holley be a good choice for my H/C package?

they basically support the mods you're doing. You're not going to gain anything from larger injectors unless you're maxing out the duty cycle on the ones you have..

Typically a 30lb injector will handle H/C cars..

as long as your tuner can tune them in, then they're fine and as long as they work with the PCM

A larger injector won't add any horsepower. Just support more power. 50# is kind of overkill for H/C, the highest I would go is 42# and even that's high for the setup.
