Well if the injectors are from a stock Mustang V8, then they'll be 19 lb/hr. They should be orange if that's the case. Which wouldn't make a difference from your stock injectors. But I'm pretty sure they would work, in case you ever need them for a backup set if one of yours fails or starts leaking.

Well the 2.8's/3.1's, the V6's, got either 14 or 16 lb/hr injectors. And I'm sure the V8's got larger injectors. So yours SHOULD be right around an 18 or 19 lb/hr or so.

My experience here is with a Ford...but 19 lb/hr's will support over 300 horsepower. But once you start getting over 300, bigger ones will give you extra power. I don't know what the injector sizes are on the Chevys, but you could probably benefit from some 24 lb/hrs.
