Have you had the tune adjusted to suit the larger than stock (22lb ) injectors ?
If not engine will be running rich because the computer still thinks you have the stock injectors

Correct, you can't just instal larger injectors without any other modifications and expect the car to run right.

Only one way ; get a custom tune with the injector size changed in the program that runs the car
If you are going to get a custom tune , you can get other things changed at the same time.
Fan operating temps , VATS delete , anything controlled by the computer
