non I/c injectors vs. 190's

I can get both for almost free, my ? is, which are better flowing (bigger) for a 1991.5 I/C CTD. Will the 1990 injectors flow as much as a set of Bosch 190's? I can have the 190's new in the box, but I would have to pull the others from an engine that has 150k on it.
Reguardless, would the 190's allow more fuel versus the nonI/C injectors??
In case anyone gives a poop, I got a new job that pays HUGE, so I will be asking alot of ?'s shortly, since I now have the $$ to make this ole truck Wanna-worthy.......

I don't believe that the non-I/C injectors will go in an I/C head - 9mm tip vs 7mm tip. I'm sure someone else will pipe up and confirm this.

Correct, non-I/C injectors won't work in a I/C head, but you can put the 7mm I/C injectors in the 9mm non-I/C head with the adaptor washers.

190's and non-I/C injectors are pretty close as far as power output is concerned.

Enough said then, thanks for the info.
I planned on going with the 190's since they are new, but I was wondering about the power outoup vs my dads 1990. He still has a virgin pump, but it seems to flow way more than mine. So the 190's it IS!!!!
P.S. Next is a turbo upgrade.....
Dang, this slope IS slippery.....

Stock non-I/C injectors are bigger than the stock I/C 160hp injectors. Thats why it seems like your dads got more go to it, because it does.

Yep...full-on vertical cliff face here. The free fall seems to have slowed and I appear to be resting on a very thin ledge right now. I can see the rest of the way down from here...and my bank account and wife are nowhere to be found!

Uh oh....and I had concerns that what appeared to be the bottom could in fact be just another ledge! This is definitely not very good news.

Well, considering that the 1990 injectors won't fit in you're head, I think that the 190's are a no-brainer.

That's assuming that you can get the 190's for dirt cheap, or that you're going to be satisfied with "only" 300 horsepower. Otherwise, it'd be better to save you're money for some bigger injectors.

What are you're ultimate power goals? You don't want to buy injectors that you're going to replace in 3 months on you're quest to 400, 500 or 600 horsepower...

They are all right, the 190's are what you want. You can get 300 HP pretty cleanly with those.
