Default Should I upgrade my injectors?

I've got a 97 C5 with BBK TB,Granatelli MAF,Halltech Stinger and Corsa cat-back. Would I benefit from different injectors? If so, what size or brand should I go with? TIA, Jason

you have 28.6 lb injectors which have more capacity than the later models, easily will support more than 400 rwhp, so the answer is NO!

All 1997 and 1998 C5s (LS1), and all 2001-2004 C5 LS1s and Z06 LS6s had 28.8lb stock injectors. The 1999 and 2000 C5 LS1 had 26.2lb stock injectors. You will be more than fine (low injector duty cycle) with what you have.
