You want injectors working at 80% duty cycle when your "ON" it. If your running LEAN at WOT then maybe bigger injectors will help. You need to get it to a tuner to see for sure.

Find someone in your area that has EFI Live or HP Tuners and have them data log your engine. The DUTY CYCLE will let you know if your injectors need to be larger. If they do,,,you will need to have the PCM tuned to the new injectors.

With those mods, especially the cam (not sure of how big of a cam you have) it is possible you will need larger injectors. Big question.....Since you have these already, wouldn't the tuner of scanned it already and told you if you needed larger injectors?
