38 lb.hr. injectors to small?

If I want to make around 300hp on my 3.4L twin turbo camaro I think I will need about 38 lb.hr. injectors and a fuel pump that can feed them around 60 psi and of course one of those BBK ajustable fuel pressure regs and a lean rich meter.
(I found a 2nd turbo also)
Are the 38's to small or do I need to go bigger or should I crank up the fuel psi?

you can make well over 300hp on a 24# injector if you have the right fuel enrichment. just get a good pump and make sure that the fmu is adjusted correctly thats all. try using an egt gauge with an air/fuel gauge. the a/f only works under 80%+ throttle and wont give an accurate reading till then. and you wont be able too tell what both banks of the motor are doing cause you need 2 gauges (1 for each side). that will get way too complicated. good luck!

I'll see what I can get out of the 22lb.hr. injectors then go bigger.

i by no means am an expert on this but lets see if i can help without saying anything too stupid. If you go to too big of an injector then you have to lower your fuel pressure by enough that your car wont run right (i believe its because the fuel doesnt atomize properly). Anyways i dont know all of the details but be careful with your selection.
