No need to change the level from stock for your car unless you have significant modifications that improved the air into it.

Jon will most likely recommend the Bosch III 24# injectors that are rebuilt. When I bought them for my stock 85, they ran approx $189.
The Bosch IIIs do a better job of atomizing fuel compared to the stock injectors. If you are installing an adjustable fuel pressure regulator you can increase the fuel pressure a little. The 85's run at a lower pressure than later years. But with the new injectors, the engine will actually run a little leaner. So it will like 3-4 lbs more pressure. TPiS did some dyno runs on an 85 that proved a slight improvement in Hp with the additional pressure.
Good luck. This is a good modification that will improve starting and driveability.
