24lb or 30lb injectors w/ superram-406?
I've already got a set of SVO 24lb injectors that have been flowed and matched by Precision Turbo. Now I'm going w/ a 406 and am wondering if they're enough.
I saw the 30lb Accel injectors in Summit and they seemed like they were a pretty good deal, but I don't want them unless I really need them. I know the SVO injectors are rated at a lower pressure so would just cranking up the pressure compensate?
thanks,

It depends on how much HP you plan on.30 LB may not be big enough. I have 36 LB injectors on mine and I couldn't imagine putting anything smaller. I am pushing 500 HP on mine and reving to 6000RPM. Look at my web site the link is below.

The Ford 24lbs. will be around 26lbs. when running at the stock GM 42psi. Like Camaro1j states, it is going to be dependant on what HP expectations you have with your motor. I myself would run the 30lb. injectors and tune the computer to compensate for it. The Superram you plan on using will allow your 400 motor to breath more, so you want to make sure you fuel delivery will be sufficient. It's better to go with slightly more and tune down with the computer. The stock LT-1's ran great with 26lb. injectors. You're going to be running 56 more cubic inches.
