Default Boost-a-pump

I am waiting for the APS kit to come in and I would like to have the fuel system ready to install. I am going to use the supplied wastegate springs, which I think are somewhere around 7-8 psi. I have a stock LS1. Im expecting around 450 rwhp, but that is just a guess. What size boost-a-pump (I think there are different power ratings) should I get and where would be a nice cheap place to get it? I also would like to use the cobra 39lb injectors, but I have been getting mixed opinions about that. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks
Josh.

Default Cobra injectors? BAP?

Josh, are these known as the "SVT injectors" (FoMoCo)?...if so, my performance shop thinks these are currently the best injectors to use. They recommend the 42# SVTs...they go for approx $375 & can handle up to 9lbs. boost....the BAP ? try ECS (CF Vendor) they carry a good one>>> "KB BAP" ...call for pricing & advice on your injectors...they had a sale price of $369 on 60# injectors I hear...

The 20 amp model should be fine.
