Default are these the right ford injectors

I went hunting on summit, and I think I found what everyone's talking about as far as the ford fuel injectors. Part # FMS-M9593A302

These are the 24lb/hr ones, should I snag these or go one step higher to the 30lb/hr ones?

What would happen if I got the bigger ones but didn't need them? I plan on doing some more upgrades later, for now the only non-stock thing I have is my trickflow twisted wedge heads. Oh, its an 85 by the way.

Thanks guys!

If you do your homework, you will find that the 24Lbs is all you will need. i.e. If you actually need bigger ones,.. you would know this already.

Take a look into how the FMS differ from the Bosch units.

Too big of an injector and you will have fuel trim problems. i.e Hard to control small fuel amounts.

Remember those injectors are spec'd at a lower pressure than the vette injectors, rated the same way they would be around 28 lbs. You don't want to go bigger than you need because bigger injectors have more trouble metering fuel correctly at idle.

You have an 85 with stock 24 lb injectors at 39 psi. This is the same as the Ford injectors so they will fit and flow the same.
