Default Injector Question

I'm in the process of having my 383 Stroker motor built. It will have spray on it later down the road direct port. My builder says 30 lb injectors will be big enough and should do fine, but I have other knowledable friends that think i should go with 36lb injectors and that my builder is under estimating the power my car is going to make. We are thinking around 440 rwhp when its all done.

I've got ported LT4 heads/intake, 58mm TB, and a very healthy cam matched to the heads. 1 3/4lb long tube headers, 3 inch true dual exhaust.

Yea 30s would only be good for a mild 383, but no where near enough for sprayed 383.

That's what I tought, I'm going with 36 to 38lb injectors. My builder is kind of old school but in the end whatever I want will be installed on the car. Thanks.
