There is a retailer on ebay... deutschwerks or something like that, selling balanced injector sets. I got my 42# ones for something like $220 delivered....I know he had 30's and some others. Be careful though, they're not new (not that it should matter).
Don said that my 42's were way overkill and that SVO 30's would have been plenty. I have to admit that we did have a bit of issues trying to get mine tuned in, he said the 30's would have been much better. Sounds like you're on the right track.

These were very low mileage used, screaming deal on them. I was planning on balanced Lucas, but couldn't pass these up. I just didn't know if that because they are from Ford Motorsports whether they make any attempt to balance the sets they ship out.

According to what I 'remember', unmatched, or 'mismatched' were ~2%.
I got the 30lb/hr SVO FM's from New Era and they were within .05% according to the sheet provided. And the price was killer.
New Era also does flow matching, refurbish and repair.

As long as they all flow well am not sure matched matters. If you knew one flowed say 2% more or less what would you do about it?
I have had them flowed and unflowed and could care less. If you buy them, have a suspected problem have them cleaned and checked.

SVO 30# being installed next week. Tuner said not to bother with matched unless I plan to go over 500 plus HP. He also said something about the impedence match and these injectors put out 36#. This guy is supposed to be the best around and his reputation speaks loudly. As for me, I have got to believe him.
He is installing Kook headers at the same time.

I understand the #7 dead end concept but just don't think it matters much unless you have 8 WBs, then you could try and amtch fat injectors with lean cyls> yikes

I've bought both matched and unmatched. Althogh the cost of the flow matched is like $100 or higher, the flow sheet only had them at 0.3% difference. I really don't think its worth the extra money unless you have to have everything to the gnats behind.

The tuner commented AFTER I had bought them....no direction beforehand. He also said that many cars can keep the injectors stock and you can just "overdrive" them to 130% or whatever.
It all comes down to the individual setup and what people are comfortable doing. A tuner might have 20 yrs and 3000 cars under his belt but if the guy paying for the parts and work doesn't feel comfortable with X suggestion, he should be allowed to make his own decision as long as it doesn't hurt the car. Otherwise we'll end up with 500 clones out on the street, or better yet 50 of the exact same setups putting down numbers that vary and people getting all bent about person Y putting down more than X.
We're just all about CUSTOMIZING and MODIFYING...

No, the headers were the prime install. Wanted to do a professional tune and decided top do injectors at the same time. As far as overkill, that is in the eyes of the beholder. Will tell you more after the installation and tune.
