Default 32lb injectors too much for my setup?

Just curious what you guys think my setup is as follows.
gt40 Iron heads cut to 62cc, tfs stage one cam, ford explorer upper and lower intake manifolds, 65mm throttlebody, 75mm mass air calibrated for 19lb injectors i'm gonna see if the tuner can recalibrate it or if worse comes to worse get the better sct maf that they have, bbk shorty headers, offroad h-pipe, 255lph walboro pump, kirban fpr. Friend of mine is selling the injectors for 75$ for a used set just needs o-rings. I figure if i get the 32lb injectors i can grow more without worrying about fuel.

base on your mods you wouldn't need 32#'s. unless your gonna put on a blower than buy them and hold on to them

yeah, 32 pounders are too big to install right now,but thats not a bad buy if you just want to hold on to them for a laterbuild.

The reason i was gonna upgrade the injectors is the car ran lean on the dyno when i first got it with the 19lb injectors. Is it possible to adjust to the bigger injectors with the tune or lowering fuel pressure?

You are way fine using 19#'ers with your current set-up

For recalibrating your MAF, all it is the size of the little tube that the little sensor goes down into i beleive, so all you'd have to do is buy the little tube and screw it into ur current MAF.

if your going to "recalibrate" your MAF recalibrate it by getting a new one. 75mm MAF is huge for your 19s, thats why your running lean. you really dont need any more than a 73mm, and thats for 24 injectors. dont recalibrate it, you will still be letting in too much air into your engine for what the injectors can handle. get all the parts, none too big or too small, and get them all working properly together.

yeah those injectors are to big for what you got now. 19s should be fine. you should be able to turn your regulator up enought to get adequate fuel
