Default Will ford 39# injectors be enough for a stroked 427?

Got a project going on, and i need to get parts together as quicly as possible. The previous owner of the long block had ford racing 39# injectors....should i bump up to something bigger? If so, what kind?

(I also have an upgraded fuel pump that i will be installing, so no worries there)

Ive been doing some reading and it seems that the ford injectors flow at a different (lower) pressure than gm injectors, so the ford injectors can actually flow beter than a higher number gm....is this true? If so, should i just keep these?

I checked out the calculator for injector sizing, but i didnt even know where to start bc im not sure of the pressures and such, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
