Question will my fuel injectors hold up?

well im going to rebuild my lt1 with forged materials. In the process im going to drop a cc306 cam and have my heads ported locally. I was wondering if my injectors would b able to hold up? or would I need to buy new ones? If thats the case which ones should i get?
Thanks

Re: will my fuel injectors hold up?

You might want to bump up to something like a 30# SVO and retune for it. Do you plan on more mods down the road? If you do, you might even think about going bigger depending on what you may do in the future. In all reality, the factory 24's will probably do you for now and be tunable. I like the 30's for that kind of setup though. See what some of the other guys input here is.

It is less of a question of holding up and more of sufficient capacity which I believe they will be lacking.

Re: will my fuel injectors hold up?

FWIW, I am using 42lb racetronix injectors and a 255 Walbro on a much heavier car than yours. It's also pretty much stock, other than bolt-ons and gears.
I went that big because I have a dry nitrous system that I want to support.

With a retune by PCMforLess it runs great.

So don't be afraid to upgrade and don't be afraid to plan further ahead than your current mods.
