Default Injector Flow Matching?

​​​​​​So I got OEM 12613412 injectors from a guy who gets them cheap from GM with a dealer discount for $150 for my motor Build I'm doing.
I decided I'd get them flow tested which was about the same price, but this way I can put the bigger injectors on the leaner cylinders ie bigger to smaller 7,8,5,6,3,4,1,2
I know people have ordered flow matched injectors and they purposely send ones +8/+7% for the back cylinders that have been static flowed.

​​My injectors have a large gap 25% with non static flow, but static is about 10%. should I be getting different injectors that are more closely matched? the test was only done at 43psi and I know the truck should run around 54/56psi would that make a large difference? I'm okay with 10% static but should I be worried about the pulswidth numbers?

I'm thinking of possibly purchasing 2 or possibly more injectors and getting them tested then using the 8 closest together, I'll still be saving money compared to buying OEM from the dealer and they will be matched better

here's the data

Sounds like you get what you pay for.

yup, I'd have to agree. But I'd assume that generally injectors hover around what the other 7 were, so if I get another 8 tested, I'd probably have 10 that are close enough and price will still be less than getting flow matched injectors online.

​​​​​​we'll see how it goes, I just bought another 8 from a used motor for real cheap and those are getting tested

All has been figured out, I had been talking to someone else about getting a used set from a known good low mileage motor. Cleaned and tested everything is good

Guy I got the new injectors from said he's flow tested quite a few sets and never seen what I had with the set I got from him. anyways life moves on.
