Default Fuel injector question

I need 3 new injectors. The company that makes the injectors with the same part number only has a "new and improved" model available. It carries the same part number and lb rating but by description has been update in some way. Would like opinions and thoughts on whether you guys would use the 5 (have been serviced and flow matched) with 3 new updated injectors or replace them all?

I agree have the old one cleaned & tested. I would wait for the new one and have them confirm that the outputs are the same as your old ones.

I used cruzinperformance to clean and verify my injectors.
they will give you a printout before and after-great service.

The 5 old ones have been serviced (cleaned) and flow matched.

Ya I guess I should have mentioned that it is a 700HP FI setup. I just wanted some unbiased comments or thoughts. There is a meaning to my madness that I will divulge later.

Just in case THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY VENDOR ON THIS SITE!

They are rated at 465 cc/min @ 43 psi. My set up will run 60 psi which should net me 550 cc/min or 52.3 lb. This and a 85% duty cycle should get me to 700 crank HP. Yes I know 80% is the correct "normal" max duty cycle but it’s not a race car so 85% will work for me.

If you order just three, you probably should get them flowed. I've heard of variances as high as 20% difference from a local fuel injection company.
