changing the injectors won't give you more fuel unless the ECU knows you have bigger injectors. If those are your only mods, you shouldn't need bigger injectors.

bigger injectors are not needed until you are putting out over 250hp.

Infact just putting in bigger injectors has been proven to actually lower HP unless significant mods have been made to the engine and a stand alone or pggybacked fuel controller is added.

that is incorrect, bigger injectors will dump more fuel in, but the ECU will think it is still dumping in the same amount of fuel as before the bigger injectors were installed.

Then the ECU will think you are running rich and try and compinsate, just making the situation even worse.

no you don't need to do anything. Just put the key in and drive away.
