Default Injectors? Sizes?

I have an 02 vert. I'm thinking of doing headers leading to the Borla catback. I already have a CAI and will probably do a velocity stack to improve air flow. So that will achieve some degree of admirable air flow in and out. With increased air flow, should I be looking into larger injectors? If so, any suggestions? I see the various sizes but no clue what I have or what I should have. I won't be getting any more involved than the headers and the CAI for a long time.

You wont need bigger injectors with the mods your going to do, your stock ones will be fine. I would get a tune just to free up some lost power with the headers.

I had H/C and all mods, making well over 400rwhp and hadn't maxed out my stock 28psi injectors (same ones you have)

Just get a tune to max the new airflow.
