Fuel injector questions

I have a 150 shot sitting in the garage just begging to be installed. I wanted to get the cam and tourque converter work done first , so it could be installed all at once. I have been talking to rhino about a cam package and I'm about ready for the installs.
My next question , that I'm a little lost on, is the injectors. I have all the simple bolt ons, longtube headers, cia, catch can , gears, tune. But with this cam and nitious going on.... I know I'm going to need bigger injectors.
Question is how big? What pound injectors do I need? Can I go to big and squeeze to much fuel into the car? If I go to small with that much nitious , will I burn up something?
Any ideas of what size and what brand I need ?
Thanks

I don't think you can go too big, the injector load is set by the tune. They can see what % they are running at and tell you if you need bigger. I'm sure they also probably have an idea if your gonna need more beforehand. You should talk to whoever is tuning it.

if you do a wet shot you wont need injectors you might need pump or a boostapump. the other thing you can do is put in a standalone fuel system for the n2o that way you dont need the cars fuel system to fuel the nitrous and also you can run race gas which will help you add more timing with less worry about knock

I didn't even think about a fuel pump. Insight on the fuel pump? Size ? Brand?
I read a lot about folks having the lz1 pump. Is that the common upgrade for the kind of power I will have? I know of guys running duel pumps. But I don't ever see me reaching over 600-700 horsepower.
Does a boost a pump work the same as adding a upgraded fuel pump?
