Not sure if they make 35lb. injectors for the 5.0?? They make 36lbers though. Either way...that is WAY TOO BIG of an injector for your application. Why would you want such huge injectors?? Unless you plan on putting a blower on sometime soon, you will just be wasting gas. Your mileage will drop tremendously. Even with a blower...30lbers should be enough, depending on how much boost you're running. I checked out your mods in the engine specs. section of user's rides. If you still have the same set up...you definitely want to stick with the stock 19lb. injectors. They can handle up to 300-320hp. Many guys running aftermarket heads with big valves, intake and a cam, still run 19s. Stick with those and spend your money on something that will actually benefit your car.
