yup 24lb is stock.
travie319 I have 30's on mine! runs like a champ!
and I use autolite 104's
yes many people do use the 30lb inj. nothing wrong with them at all.
however if you go to www.eportworks.com Mr.Elliot says for the most power you should have a 58mm 36-42 lb inj.+the typical mods like longtubes,3.73-4.10gear,3000-3800 stall if auto.so i would go without hesitation to the 42s

I have had one 383 and I am getting my second. Their is no specific answer for "383." What you need to know is the horsepower the motor is going to make. My last 383 made 370 rear wheel with 30 # red top Ford injectors. My new motor will be using 42's as it is a much more aggressive combination. Good luck! 
my cam specs are 230/236@.050 / .555/.565 with 1.6 rockers. i guess ill be needing a new muffler as well, i have a flowmaster 80 series now, been wanting a new one. what muffler flows the best?

the bigger the injector, the more difficult the tune...its harder to make a big injector behave like a small one than it is to make a smaller one behave like a big one. If you go 50's, its liable to be pretty rich at idle, though you will leave room for more fueling for future mods. i concur with the ford 36's as our fuel pressure is a bit hight than the fords, it would probably flow a bit higher than 36.

I have a pretty agressive cam....high 230's and high 240's on a 110 lsa
and I have all the other goodies to support it....
It really all depends what duty cycle you run your injectors at......and then you take it from there!
I would recommend 36lbs.......but I think a 42lb inj. is uneccesary, unless
he plans on putting out 460+ rwhp......(N/A)
but like I stated before the 42's won't hurt......
