Default Upgrading the c6 do I need fuel injectors?

Hi everybody

I ordered parts for my ls2 c6 base.
m4 cam
trunion upgrade
rods
springs
fast 102
ls7 lifters
Do you think I need fuel injectors?

I am also in a debate on sending my heads to get worked and ported from Texas speed.

Think I would need injectors then? I am running low on my budget for now especially if I send heads off.

Injectors for sure with E85 on pump gas likely.

Change the cam the springs lifters I would recommend changing oil pump while you are there to Melling P# 10355 and perhaps the harmonic dampener if still on the factory unit.

I guess what I'm saying is the heads are more important push rods and trunions are done from the top with out removing the heads so can be done later.

I'm sorry i also got
oil pump
timing chain
upper sprocket
and pushrods.

Trying to decide if I should get heads worked since they will be off for lifters. If I do heads and need fuel injectors the budget will be eaten up I don't know if the balancer is the stock unit or not. Purchased this c6 with 92k miles.

you can probably get away with using stock LS9/LSA injectors.

It's ls2. These would not be plug and play correct?

It doesn't sound like you've already done the purchase of anything, so you might consider using stock LS3 heads rather than spending $$$$ to rework the LS2 ones. If you choose that path, be sure to spec a cam for that mod. BTW, the LS3 heads require LS3 compatible IM.
