I had stock injectors, Just an inline boost pump from ZEX with a 125 shot. Never had problem. Now i have a wet kit, Same stock injectors with same boost pump. 150 shot and still right on the money every time

I would say personally upgrade to the walbro and 30 injectors...
Better safe then sorry.. Plus you will be set up for any future additions..
Like a 175 shot.. LOL

I ran a 200 on a stock pump and stock injectors for 2 summers. Never had an issue.

I think you're going to be fairly close to the systems capabilities. I would upgrade the pump w/ a hotwire harness and go with bigger injectors or convert it to a wet kit, either way will work. Just as was pointed out above...better safe than sorry. Thanks.

Yes it is suggested to replace the pump and injectors if you are going with a dry kit.....but the big issue is how are you handling the fuel enrichment?

I don't like using a huge increase in fuel pressure to force more fuel flow through the injector. 125 or so is about the limit most guys are doing with this style dry kit. I would convert to a wet kit for the LTx platform.

I agree. If using the Interface to control your fueling, this is something you don't have to worry about.

125 is tops on the zex dry kit, I had it i loved it. ZEX is the best is my opinion. I now have there EFI race kit and its amazing also.

No one said it couldn't be done....we said there wasn't a base jetting recommendation from ZEX and you were on your own to come up with the correct jetting.

I also said I don't like running a dry kit that relies on increasing fuel pressure for the fuel enrichment.
