Default 60lb injectors ?

I have been told by a Tuner Here in MObile,al that the 60lb injectors are hard to tune ,This is what he says , First of all, they have a 6% variance +/- from the factory. Yes, some flow around 64# and others flow around 56#. And, that could be from cylinder to cylinder. The only 60s that I trust to never have any quirks are the flow matched set. Do you have a flow matched set? Did you even know that about those injectors? It's one of the worst variance of any aftermarket injector. You may know me as a friend, but I'm also a professional tuner, therefore I'm going to inform my customers about the setup.OK now
I am trying to get a tune ,& i Bought the Paxton kit from Chris @ Ecs ,Chris tells me these injectors are one of the easiest to tune ,I dont know what to believe

Take Chris' word for it.

I've tuned a number of cars with 60's and never had any problems.

I would find a different tuner before you end up buying a new engine.

When in doubt, check it out. It's only about $120 to get the cleaned and flowed. IF they are new, it should be a lot less just to get them flow tested.
