Alot of people like to run the SVO 30# injectors. I think they are called redtops, not sure. Direct bolt on, and they are good injectors. I think you can order them straight from Ford. Or keep your eyes peeled in the classifieds section.

Imo I would just get the 36# units out of the supercharged 3800's. They are the new improved design(bosch 3) over the ford svo (bosch 2). They have a better spray pattern and are quieter. Can be had for around 110-150 used on ebay, cleaned and tested.

You will have to swap on some new LT1 o-rings too.

Flow matching is not that big of deal. Just means all of the injectors flow rates are within a certain percentage. I would be more particular with flow matched units for a forced induction car, you should be fine with your setup.

May I ask why you're so hot for flow matched injectors? You're not going to gain any performance by doing this. Well, unless you're making some real power on a high tolerance motor where even the slightest change in a cylinder will throw the results lol From what I've read on the Ford Motor Sports (not SVO, but everyone calls FMS injectors SVO because we all know them as that, SVO is different) are very closely flow rated from the factory. I might have just coincidentally read the right articles (not magazine ones pimping them, just people who've done write ups) and they aren't. If that's the case, someone speak up

I'm running light-blue tops (24#) that were used with I think 30K miles, and I didn't care if they were flowmatch lol The upgrade to them is enough as it is over single-pintle injectors.

if flow matching doesnt really matter then im not worried about it from what ive read flow matching injectors flow the same amount or very close to the same amount of fuel in each injector so thats why i was asking about the flow matching

What's up buddy! Yeah stay away from Accel. The Fords are great injectors. Delphi is another good brand.
