Default injector swap

Is there really any benefit to replacing the 26lb injectors in my wife's car for my 28lb injectors. I went to 60lb so I have a set that would just need new o'rings. She only has a bolt on car (no H/C) so she should be no where near maxing the 26s out, just wasn't sure if there was any atomization advantages, etc. I'm always reading where someone is swapping out SVO 30lbs in an almost stock car, so I wondered if there was somthing I was missing.

I was told no big difference but to be very careful the computer is programmed for the 26# and will wash down the motor with fuel unless retuned right away.Could do major damage.

Thanks eco
I've got HPTuners, and would make the adjustment for the injectors if I installed them. I just wondered why GM went DOWN to the 26's, then went BACK to 28s after a couple of years, if there were no benefits to the larger ones
