Default 24lb or 30lb

i was wondering what you guys think is a better choice for my setup. right now is supercharged 6lbs, getting the heads ported and polished. 75mm throttle body with the intake to match. if i ever find the pulley i will go to 8 lbs and hopefully sometime in the near future i will be purchasing the bbk ssi intake. so 24lb injectors or 30. im trying to buy a new mass air flow sensor but i want to have it calibrated to the new injectors so i got to decide before i buy

24s will be enough. ported stock heads are still stock heads. and with the stock heads on the car, that 75mm tb and intake isnt worthmuch. basically a stock motor with 6# of boost.

yeah damn those heads....i wish i could afford new ones but for now the port n polish will have to do. i can get the 75mm TB for about the same price as the 70 so should i go with it....i was thinking like a 76mm mass air and i guess the 24 lbs. if i can get the 30s cheap should i get them.

the 70 is good even with 8 psi because your intake is the bottle neck after getting a bigger maf

yeah i get what your saying but if i can avoid upgrading my TB and mass airflow twice that would mean more money for my heads you know?

I ran a 306 with 15psi with a small 75mm t/b before that I ran a 65mm with 10 psi with a 14# pulley as clearly is show'd the t/b was too small and I knew this...the t/b a 70mm can be bought new or used for around 100 bux..the maf a 76mm with work well on both and your up comingipgrades
