Default Injector Size For Trickflow Top End Kit

I was looking into switching over to mass air this winter while ive got the car in the garage. I was looking at this site, (Performance Parts) for their conversion kit. I was looking to get the 73mm Sensor and 24lb injectors. Im planning on installing a trickflow top end kit at some point. I just want to make sure that 24lb injectors would be enough. Also I can get 30lbs for the same price so would it just be worth getting thoes so I have some growing room? Possably a 347 stroker build when the motor gives out but thats going to be a while. Its only got 54k on it. Thanks for the help. I just want to do everything the right way the 1st time. Oh and sorry for being long winded

If you plan on a power adder within a reasonable timeframe after you install the top end kit, then you can go with the 30's. But if it's "eventually I'll get..." and no real timeframe for when you'll get it, then go with the 24's and upgrade the fuel when you can do the power adder.

The 24 pound injectors are good for what you are going to do. If you decide on building a motor or adding boost then i would go with skiping 30 pounds injectors and moving to the 42lb.

42 LBS ftw......jk 24 are enough for N/A, when you get a supercharger go with 42lbs like 93 said.
