Default Injector size?

I am getting parts together to do my build while I am deployed to Iraq and noticed that I have forgot to get an injector upgrade.. I am clueless as to what size I should get and tried to search it but was unable to come up with much. The following mods are what I plan on doing:

TSP Ls6 stg 1 heads
ms4 cam
lg motorsports street version lt's no cats (already installed)
halltech cai(already installed)
slp loudmouth exhaust(already installed)
and probably a nitro dave nitrous plate kit.
ls6 intake
spec stg 3+ clutch(bought today for a great price at mvp motorsports)
I am looking to make 600hp at the most on the spray and think I will see around 430hp or so on the mods above and maybe shoot a 100-150hp shot on top of it.

So the question is, what should I do for fuel upgrades? I have looked at the racetronix kit for the fuel pump upgrade, is this a good kit to go with for that? What size injectors will i need? Anything else that I should look for on this build? Thanks for any help guys

If your nitrous kit is wet just go with 42 lb green tops. They are decently priced and may be a little big for 430rwhp but will allow a little safety margin and room for growth.

I wouldnt go 30's you will probably be over 80%. 42's can be found pretty cheap. Also remember that these are rated at 43.5 psi. Our systems run 60 psi of fuel pressure and therefore 42 will flow more like a 50 lb injector at 60 psi. you should be able to get a set of lucas or ford injectors for under $300.

Is it just a 125 with everything else being stock or is it H/C/125 dry kit?

42# or 60# will be fine Im sure....60# will definantly give your more room to grow though

I will be doing a wet shot only like 100 or 150 at the most.. So would the 30#'s be fine or should I just go ahead and do the #42's just for room to grow. about where do the 30#'s run out of room?
