can I get these to idle right?

I've got a chance to pick up a 454 TBI unit with 85# injectors, I'm wanting to use this with a basicly stock 4.3L V6. (no cat, no EGR, MS-II unit) I was wondering if I could get these injectors to idle decently, perhaps even going as far as using a vacuum regulator, which will apparently drop FP by about 5# at idle comapred to WOT or make them about 67#s by the MS calculator. The reason for this is the eventual addition of a turbocharger.

Yes, I was sort of wondering about that. I mean, a stock Syclone comes with 30# injectors I believe, as do Buick GNs. 6X30# injectors is about 180#, which is more then the 170# from the TBI injectors. I'm just not sure that with the way the TBI system works if I'd bog the engine down horridly or not.
