Default LS6 Injectors Maxing?

I'm tuning a Camaro that just put in the LS6 Crate engine in it. I basically copied a Z06 tune and installed it on the car.

Car runs great... nice and fast. Its got headers, exaust, 92 mm intake manifold and throttle body and at 6000 rpms it looks like the injectors have maxed out. Is this possible? or do I have the injector sizing wrong?

Not neccassarily a magic HP# but in my opinoin if you are doing heads and or cam you should seriously consider going to something like the SVO 30's they will flow 36#'s on the Z's fuel system.
Not sure what the F-bodies run on fuel pressure though.......maybe that's where the issue is for the OP.

Good thinking. I don't know why that didn't cross my mind.
