you seem to want to 'upgrade' every corner of your s type.
This isnt a tuner car, and even if it was, throwing parts at a car for no purpose is a waste of time and money.
In the aftermarket world of fuel injectors, the main purpose of 'upgrading' (usually to a higher flow rate) is to facilitate more fuel flow to support more power through more airflow. Not to mention, in most cases, you need some form of tuning to compensate for adding higher flow injectors.
Seeing your s type is mostly stock, stick with stock or stock replacement units.

Candy maybe it would help if you put the details of your car into your signature.
After going back through your posts, I see that you have a Naturally Aspirated 4.2L, non-R, non-Supercharged...
According to the parts catalog, the N/A & the S/C actually use different injectors.
So if you wanted more flow (can't imagine why, unless your putting a 200-shot of NOS on the car) then the S/C injectors would be the first thing to look at.
Avos uses stock 4.2L S/C injectors on his car, and it's 630HP...and it hasn't maxed them out...

Using a bigger injector does nothing for performance and can screw you on performance depending on the size. Ecu are tuned for a certain cc range, go above that and youll end up with a rich engine out of the adjustment range of the ecu which is 25%. As has already been said, if youre not adding something like a turbo or sc, you have no reason to change injectors period. If you want good performance send them out to www.injectorrx.com to be cleaned and check balance. You cannot change balance of injectors to match majically. When he gets injectors from race teams or people concern about identicle flow rates. They send him large quantities to flow them all and put together matched sets. And for most applications this is not even needed. But it does show that even new injectors do not flow the same rates or close to their ratings. So thinking that buying a new set will be the answer to matched flow is a misnormer also. Clean, rebuild, and flow check yours and be done. Anything past that is a waste unless bench racing then of course bigger is better and is always the answer

the other thing youll do with a bigger injector is forget about correct mpg computing from the ecu. it is calcualted on flow rates and pulse width for what came on the car. put bigger injectors in and SUDDENLY your mpg number in the trip computer will go way up. They wont really, so the only way to acuratly calc is to do the math. And your miles to empty and range will also be off
