You beat me to it, the BSFC should be aroung .5 for our cars and I would use 48PSI for your fuel pressure at 0 PSIG.
Also, keep in mind this is for "crank" HP. So HP results should be multiplied by ~0.85 (~15% drivetrain loss) to guesstimate HP at the wheels as read by most dynos. The RC Eng inj calculator is a pretty good tool for sizing up injectors. You can also get a "one size larger" as most EMS units can handle large capacity injectors well for cold starts and idling.
If you want to look at it this way then yes a 0.6 x .85 = 0.51.
This is why I suggested 0.50, based on reasearch when I was sizing my fuel system this will still give you pleanty of injector while using a 85% duty cycle. I actually used a VE table that was calculated from real power curves to back calculate.
The last peice of advice I can throw in is to but the largest injector you can buy even if it is much larger than you need and still maintain a good idle. The ID1000's seem to be the best bang for the buck and still yeild a great idle. Once you go larger than 1000 cc's then you will need more than a Walbro 255lph anyway.
