Benefits of flowmatched injectors? Hey guys, im looking to order some injectors for my WS6.
I am looking at the SVO 30lb. with the all red body(newer style).
The price on the flowmatched set is about $322 shipped to me which I think is pretty good.
I am just trying to learn a little bit, what are the advantages of having flowmatched injectors over non-flowmatched?
I appreciate the help, Thanks!

Flowmatched injectors mean they flow within a certain % of each other (believe around 2%) and non flowmatched injectors flow more around 5-7% of each other
my %'s might be off but you get the idea

Unfortunately, you can't control individual injectors on these cars through the PCM. So, if you have an injector that is flowing more than the next, that cylinder is gonna be running richer than it should, and you'll lose a little power (how much? Who knows...).
Flow matched injectors keep these variances to a minimum, so you should be the most accurate fueling possible. It is just one of those "every little bit helps" kinda things in my book...
When I got mine, they were all marked with a number, and the flow sheet said which ones flowed what. I put the heaviest flowing injectors in the back cylinders since they tend to run lean, and put the smaller ones up front.
What did it do for me? I have no idea...but the last time I pulled the spark plugs, they were all damn near identical to one another, so I'm happy.

Cool, thanks for the help...the website lists that if I buy the flowmathed set they will all be within 1% of each other so I will go with those....Thanks guys!
