Need advice on Injectors

My L98 is running S/R Torquer heads w/ZZ-9 Cam and my former 305 top end. I am thinking one of my bottle necks is the 19lb injectors. Do I go with #24lb or #30lb or what? Also, can I really go with Ford injectors?

Yes you can use the SVO 24# injecters with your set up.They will mount right up to your fuel rails with no problems.They will run good with stock chip,but you will need afpr and a prom to calibrate the different pressures between ford and chevy.Ford rates these SVOs at 36-37 psi,the General rates third gens at 43.5 psi,so without proper tuning you would be wasting gas and losing power in the process.They are cheap and of good quality and when tuned right are great.I'm currently using a set svos in my chevy stepside PU with an 88'vette TPI and haven't had any problems yet.

I do have an Adj Fuel Pressure Regulator which I run between 46 and 52 Lbs. I also went with a TPIS prom when I went to the 350 specifically for the CAM & Heads. I suppose that should be OK for the SVO injectors? I may call TPIS.

A used set of 24# LT1 injectors would be a much cheaper way to go! I picked mine up for $25 and I'm getting them cleaned and flowmatched for $80! That's a lot cheaper than $220 for a set of SVO injectors!!
