what size accel injectors for ZZ4 cam?

My combo:
new 350 shortblock
Edelbrock 6085 heads, 10:1 CR
ZZ4 cam
Accel base/runners (cleaned up)
SLP 1 5/8 headers
3" flowmaster cat-back
Hi-flo cat

Should I get the 23 or 24 lb/hr injectors. Of coarse I will have an AFPR. I'm leaning towards the 24 lb/hr ones because that is what everyone else seems to be running with the ZZ4 cam.

The stock 22 lb/hr. are adequate up to 450hp according to TPIS. Bump the pressure to 50 lb. and go for it.

I am converting from a 305 to the 350, so I don't have the stock injectors.

If I get the 24 lb/hr injectors I won't have to run an ungodly 50 PSI of fuel pressure.

If you think you'll be happy with the motor naturally aspirated with no desire of adding a blower, get 22 or 23#. If you forsee more mods down the road, get the 24's and keep the pressure down. Willie has 19#'s in his 12.2x 305, so don't be convinced that you need larger injectors for more power, what you really need is fuel atomization. You may also want to change the injector constant in the PROM if your cold start feels too rich.

I used 22lbs injectors with my ZZ4 cam and heads, at 48 PSI, and had no problems.
