With that combo alone I'd go bigger. ESPECIALLY considering the nitrous. Get some bigger ones ASAP!

Thx for the quick response,MT1 in Texas claims 24# injectors are good for 500RWHP,that Thunderchicken project they did a while back in GM Hightech had 24# inj. & Made 421 RWHP & 500plus Flywheel

I've got a HOTcam, homeported heads, bolt ons and tuning. My injectors are running about 91-92% duty cycle. They are either 22 or 24, I forgot which. It's better to go ahead and get some bigger ones. If nothing else they won't have to work as hard, but I'm pretty sure you are about to max out what you have now.

Pick up the latest issue of High Performance Pontiac (Feb edition). There's a really good article on injectors from Ray Bohacz in there.
