383-Fuel Injectors and AFPR

Ok i have a few questions here,
I'm new to this board but cannot peel myself away from it now. I have a 86 IROC that orriginally came with a 305 TPI. I have gone through 2 junkyard motors already and figured i should do it right this time and build a 383. I just got done and decided to keep the TPI system and see what i could get out of it. Anyway i'm in the process of tunning up my tired old TPI and had some questions.

#1. What PSI fuel injector should i run? Would 30 PSI be to much? And, what brand does anyone rewcommend? - I've been reading and have seen alot of negative comments about Accel fuel injectors and a lot of posotives about Ford fuel injectors. If i'm wrong please let me know.

#2. What brand of AFPR and guage should i run? I've heard a lot of good things about Holley, If so then where do i go about ordering them from, cant find any Holley AFPR's in my Summit or Jegs.

#3. I am thinking of buying a Petronix Flame Thrower Distributor tuneup kit with 50,000 volt coil to help burn extra fuel. Should i wait till after i get a AFPR or before?

Any feedback would be appreciated

30lb fuel injectors would work, it'd have to be a fairly mean 383

If you buy ford injectors buy them about 2lbs short of what you would gm.

i.e. 30lbs would be 28's if fords

They're tested at a lower pressure so they really flow more at our fuel pressures

I like the look of the TPIS AFPR, but never had one. I made my own :P

Thanks alot, i think i'm gonna go with the Ford 26lb/hr injectors. She's mean but probably not mean enough for 30lb/hr.
