For a NA engine you can probably get away with the 33# ones. But if you eventually supercharge you'll need to upgrade a lot to run E85 depending on your SC mods. Stock 33# injectors are allegedly good down to a 3.1 pulley on gasoline but absolutely not if you want to run E85.

I'm personally looking for some 42s because they have the dual spray pattern and I can pulley down when I SC mine.
