Default Can you have too much injector?

What kind of problems can you have if you have injectors that are way overkill? Say you only need a 60# but you install 90#? TIA

You would loose resolution at idle, and low power levels. Meaning that you would not have the precise control to get your idle and cruising fuel setup as well as you would be able to with the smaller injector.

it's like trying to let out EXACTLY one gallon of water out of a firehouse as compared to the same using a garden house...
