Default Rebuilding Injectors

I recently replaced my injectors with a set of 21lb Accels. I was getting size ratings from 21lb to 24lb when I was trying to figure out the original's size.

The new injectors definitely do not produce the power of the originals so I'm guessing I missed on the size, seems everybody had a different size in their books. One supplier even gave me 2 different size ratings from 2 different salesmen.

Do you think it would be worth it to have the originals rebuilt to have on hand should I ever tear into the plenum again? At least 2 had bad coils according to the guy that scanned them, can these be rebuilt as well?

The originals are 24 lbs/hr.

Accel injectors are tested at a different pressure, so their rating doesn't match up directly with the original injectors.

Thanks all. Yep, I can tell the difference in the power. But the 21lb Accels are plenty enough for me to get to 75.
