I run 36 #'s in mine. I'd rather have enough injector there the first time then to max a set out then have to buy another. And mine will be receiving the bottle here shortly. Just as soon as my new cam comes in. And I don't recommend running the cc306. Look into having a custom ground cam for your specific setup. The price difference is worth the performance gain.

i would/have ran lucas 36ib and a 58mm throttle body as long as the intake manifold is ported to a 58mm if not its pointless.... oh ya and a 255 walbro pump

brand new shipped lucas 36ib injectors are like 280 shipped and there the best you can get in my opinion.

The most important thing hasn't even been asked yet, is this going to be a 150 shot dry or wet? If dry then what everyone previously has mentioned would not apply, your going to need more. If wet then some 30's would be the lowest I would go and you should be fine with. Sure you could grab some 36's or even 42's and have more than you need which would be ok if you have the computer tuned for them with the only downside of being the extra cost for the larger injectors. Look into the Racetronix LT1 Pump Kit, it uses a Walbro 255 pump, but is known to be the best out there so check it out on there site.
