So what # on the injectors am I looking at to match them up? There's 3 #s on them?
JET products don't really have a good reputation, so my gut says to start by ditching them, at least for comparison. The power module probably just adds fuel if it does anything at all.

What size are the fuel injectors? Flex fuel injectors were larger than injectors in the non-flex 3.0, so if you have a non-flex 3.0 and put flex fuel injectors in it, it will run too rich.

Injectors are often rated for a certain flow. Typically they're sold as "XX lbs/hr" or just "XX lbs". I doubt that it's printed directly onto the injector. I'd look through the paperwork or ad for the injectors you bought and see if it gives any info. Maybe reach out to the seller for help too.

Stock fuel injectors in a non-flex 3.0 were 19lbs, and flex fuel injectors were like 23 or 24lbs to handle the increased flow necessary with e85.

There was a time where factory Ford injectors were different colors for different flow rates. I think that changed when they went to the thinner bodied EV6 injectors. And all bets are off if you're talking about aftermarket injectors.

I think obd2 starts in 1996 and uses 4 O2 sensors for v6 and v8. 2 in front of the cats and 2 behind the cats. The front 2 monitor O2 for the CPU and the back 2 monitor the front 2 to make sure they are working.
