Default 383LQ4SS need some help

I am about to get LS1edit and want to run a dry shot. The car is a 346 with ported heads and 230 cam. I can't decide between 36, 38, or 42 pound injectors. The car is 430ish at the ground, and I would like 550 at the ground with a dry shot. I think 36's will do. The reason I am considering 36's is because the computer works less at lower pulse widths with the 36's instead of the 42's. Anyone have some opinions on this? Also would you go single nozzle or dual?

Thanks

Hmmm...I think 36 lbders would squeek by. But for the dry I would say give yourself the extra room with the 42s. I have them and can drive along at 1200 rpm in 6th grear with no lugging or drivability issues as some have suggested. So if your going to get larger injectors and a tune to match...may as well go big. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Ehhh...low on funds so the exotic nitrous system has been put on hold for a bit. Right now Im just spraying a small straight dry shot from 100-150. Im just working on getting my car to ride alot nicer for now. Lots of plans soon though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
