Default Injector sizing with dry shot?

Hello,

I was looking for some advice on injector sizing. I found a little info by doing a search but still some things I'm not sure of. So this is my setup

-Stock LQ9 short block with new rings. Steel top ring gaped for juice.
-ported 243 heads
-11:1 compression
-Summit 8707 cam (duration 226 int./238 exh. Lift 0.600 int./0 600 exh. 113 LSA)
-F.A.S.T. LSXR 102 intake drilled and plumed for direct port dry N20
-Long tube headers 1 7/8 tubes and 3" collector
-3600 rpm FTI converter with 4L80e and 3.73's in the rear.
-58 PSI fuel pressure with Walboro 450 in tank pump

So I want to spray a progressive shot with a Terminator X. I'm trying to figure out what size injector to run. I can't get E85 in my area so I'm stuck with normal 93. I'm guessing the NA crank power would be around 475-500 hp. I want to be able to spray a 200 progressive shot.

All of the injector sizing calculators I have found only give data for naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbocharged. So I'm not sure what to go with for my setup. I was considering Daka 60's. They flow around 70 lbs at 58 psi of fuel pressure. Anyone have any incite?

On e I add 68 lbs per hour per 100 shot targeting 11.8 gas scale afr. Hopefully that helps you get close.
I took 80lber to roughly 850 900 hp on VPN 110 race gas, but I forgot the enrichment numbers on 110.
I would not spray at all with 93 but that's just me.

Not sure what your 450 flows but my a1000 was done in 850 900 hp range dry enrichment. Thought I would mention adding fuel pressure to increase injectors reduces fuel pump flow numbers. Might as well run bigger injectors with lower fuel pressure if possible.

Yeah I wish I had a better option than 93. But it's still a street car, and in my area the only option available is 93.

True Siemens Deka 60's are some of the most awesome easily tuned injectors from 15 years ago. They can still flow at absurd fuel pressures without lockup, and are easy to idle tune. That being said, they will not be good enough for your spray goals. You could "maybe" make them work, but don't count on it.
