Here's another great thing. Having the right injectors for an application over 400-450hp is nice so that you don't have to replace the engine if 1 injector should fail. You can push injectors, but why in the hell would you spend 4k+ on that modification, and then skimp out on the injectors.

If you run at 14psi, 24lb/hr injectors should be fine, if you run at 17psi, you're getting towards the border line of wanting 30lb/hr injectors, but sticking with the 24's should still be okay. 19lb/hr injectors are NOT going to cut it. You'll be lean. 140psi on the stock injection cycle would be needed, and the safety margin on the stock injectors is exceeded at 100psi. That's under perfect conditions. If you step up to a bigger injector your computer will compensate injection cycles for around town driving. In other words, you won't run rich unless you get crazy with injectors. A 190lph pump will probably do just fine, but a 255lph pump has a safety margin.
