Default Fuel injector question

I had my engine and tranny rebuilt here at Corvettes of Dallas about a year ago. They put in stiffer valve spings and a big cam from TPIS. They also put in a custom ship from TPIS. It has other upgrades as well. A big mouth manifold and siamesed runners among them. I also have the long tube exhaust system from tpis. So, my question is what size injectors should the engine have? They put a new set of 24lb in. I have just feel like something is not right with the way the engine is tuned/running.

It just doesn't seem to run well. It kinda chugs and reminds me of how my first car, an 82 firebird, used to run. I really should join my local Vette club and talk with some people there.
