1990 302 36lbs injectors

I'm running a 302, stock bottom end, trickflow twisted wedge 170cc heads, cam with 525 lift, 1.6 ratio rockers, edelbrock performer rpm II Intake manifold and plenum w/ plenum spacer and a 70mm throttle body. I already got 36lbs injectors. Will I be fine with that large of injectors?

It's over kill but should work. IMO get a tune even if you are running a calibrated MAF.The larger the injector the MAF is calibrated for, the worse everything gets since the error in the Load calculation gets bigger and bigger. I can get real technical on the subject but a tune would be the way to go. what you running for a maf and fuel pump.

A MAF sensor calibrated for 36lbs injectors and fender fed cold air intake which I also have. So the MAF sensor is a perfect match for what it's calibrated for. And a walbro 190lph in tank fuel pump

You can run the calibrated maf if you want but if run into issues get a tune ( some get drivability issues some don't) Like I stated the larger the injector the MAF is calibrated for, the worse everything gets since the error in the Load calculation gets bigger and bigger. A "calibrated" maf is only tricking the ecm, you are at the mercy of teh calibration, a tune recalibrates the ecm..ends all of the guess work.

Are you local to Marysville WA? Know of any places that can tune a stock ecu? I know the guys at Marysville Speed, Passing Lane Performance and Maxwells but they all said they will only tune an aftermarket ecu
