Default injector size

I searched the old post, and according to what I've read, my stock fuel rails shouldbe fine with 24lb injectors. Question is, do I need 24lb injectors?, what size MAF should I run?. The mods are as follows: cobra intake, gt40p heads, long tubes, 2-1/2" off road X pipe, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, AOD w/2500 stall, 4.10 gear, Bauman shift kit.
Thanks

What are your plans for future mods? If you're gonna stay the same or do something relatively simple like toss a camshaft in there, then 24# injectors will suit you just fine. For a MAF, get a 70mm MAF from an SN95 Mustang. They're cheap, extremely accurate, and are a good upgrade for foxes.

I forgot to mention the cam. I have it narrowed down to 3. F-cam, Steeda 19, or Trick Flow stage 1. Which of these would work best with my combo (or any other suggestions). Also, will I need to change out the throttle body and egr spacer to match the 70mm MAF?
Thanks

Well the best choice is almost always a custom grind. But that also isn't always an option for some people. I hate the alphabet cams so they are out (in my opinion.) Trick flow is okay I suppose, but I've never been a big fan of them. They do get the job done though. I'm a HUGE fan of the Steeda #19 camshaft, but I usually only recommend then to SN95 Mustangs (mostly because the #19 is very computer friendly and the NS95s need it.)

Have you given any thought to the Comp Xtreme Energy camshafts? I like those and would run one myself if I didn't have the Steeda #19.

People rag on the ford cams all the time, but how many of these people have experience with them? They are not bad cams. I am selling my f-cam that i bought for a 302 and never used. I did not use it because i went with a 351 and wanted a nitrous cam that was a custom grind. Oh, did i mention i have one for sale. If it doesnt sell soon it is going on e-bay.

No I haven't looked at them but I'm open to anything?. How about the throttle body?. Should it match the MAF or is the stock one ok with a 70mm MAF and 24lb injectors?
Thanks
