Default Will scaling 200lb inj from 60lb inj be risky?

I am coming from a d1 combo to a f1 combo with a larger forged motor.

I will be using e85 and possibly want more power in the future so I went ahead with 192lb/hr inj @ 43psi.

I have the pdf file for the tuning data (although I am no tuner)

We are going to break the engine in on the 60's since it is tuned for them and its less likely wed wash it down.

I am just wondering if scaling such a large injector poses any threats.

maybe someone could enlighten me with there supreme wisdom.

If it's a 4th gen, you don't have to scale them. You're under your hard coded limit of the PCM. Again, this is assuming it's a 4th gen. Even if you do want to scale them, as long as the person doing the tuning knows what they're doing you'll be fine. Might take some time and effort dialing them in, but you should be able to get them to work like stock.

yeah 4th gen. thanks edcmat makes me feel better coming from you. I was worried I should have went smaller until I was ready to make 1100+ just tired of buying inj so I went a little overboard this go around.

Just break the motor in as planned with the 60's and you'll be all set.
New injectors will take work but can be done.
