Injector Upgrade?

Just got my new 427 motor stabbed in the car and I am thinking about having it tuned on E-85 since it is available in my area. I have the Ford Green Top 42lb injectors (flow matched) now but should I upgrade those to a 60lb (higher-lower) to run the E-85?
Will the Green Tops fair well with alcohol?
Is the 42lb enough or too much for running E85?

Thanks guys!

For that big motor, I would go with siemens deka. They are easy to tune if you have the correct data.

Chad, if you upgrade I'll take your old injectors if the price is fair.

Anybody else see a problem with running the Green 42lb Ford on E-85? SHould I go bigger? Will the Green injectors hold up to the alcohol? Is the alcohol a problem with any injector? Since E-85 is higher octane which means less gas and more alcohol, which means more fuel consumption, does that mean i should go to a bigger injector?
