Sts Gt67
I have made a deal with greentahoe. I am going to pick it up in one week. I am getting a sts gt67 kit , intercooler, lq4 with 317 heads. I have done a lot of reading and searching on these kits and you guys seem to help and really support each other. I need to order some injectors and a fuel pump. Any advice on mods will be helpful. Really looking forward to some boost.

Yes. the GSS340 will fit in the carrier. Two will as well, with some modifications.

You will be OK with 43lbers for a bit, unless you really plan on cranking up the boost which it doesnt sound like from our talk. They should feed a conservative 7-8lbs fine. Any more and you will need more injector for sure. Forgot to ask if you want the catless Y and cam?? PM me if you dont remember the deal with them. Is the 04 returnless?? If yes go with the magnacharger intank otherwise go for a walbro inline.

Recap. Used gt67 sts kit
lq4 / 317 heads

Still need; tune, fuel pump, injectors, valve springs, oil pump. And the stuff I know I am forgetting.
Thanks again and keep the info coming.

The main worry about injectors and turbos is how rapidly you move beyond the supported hp range of the injector. I've had: 43's,60's,75's and just bought 95's... I really wish I had gone: 43s (while the motor was stock) -> 95s like some people told me to do, but...
At 8-9psi, you're in the 43 lber range for sure. At .65 BSFC and an 80% injector duty cycle, 43 (rated at 43.5psi) injectors net you about 500 flywheel hp. Admittedly, .65 BSFC is on the high end - mine was .59 as calculated from the last dyno numbers. Using .6 for BSFC gets you closer to 550 flywheel. As long as you are happy in that range (which is sounds like you will be) you've got the right injectors.
On my base kit with the stock 6.0L LQ9 (GT67 at 10psi) I was making around 580 flywheel.
One other thing I wish I'd done differently: Not get a little freaky about the costs towards the end of the engine build and skimp on the oil pump, cam bearings and lifters (all stock ).
