Default 30lb or 42lb with S/C?

I came across what looks like a good deal on a set of 30lb/hr injectors for my Mustang. I have seen some literature that recommends 30lb while others show 42lb. Will 30lbs work? I plan on running low boost 6-8psi with nothing else fancy. Any recommendations or suggestions?

42lbs. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Well, the charger isn't here yet.

According to the "calculation site" my factory fuel pump and injectors will do just fine.

Factory injectors are 19lb/hr, right? Anyone know the specs on the factory pump?

if you get a lightning maf, get some 42 lb injectors.. it makes it much easier to tune for and it will require less time on the dyno normally.
