Default Injectors cause issues?

So I have been getting my car ready for spring. Finished up stereo, working on seat skins, etc.

I pulled the coil packs and put loctite on bolts because they came loose. While I was in there, I replaced my stock injectors with the 60# that came with my A&A kit. Proceed to do oil change since I had the valve cover off (hidden coil covers) . When I started it after oil change, it ran like crap. Barely stayed running.

I'll be starting the A&A install soon, but want to make sure there isn't another issue.

I'm assuming its because of the bigger injectors?

You can't switch the injector size without also changing the tune to match.

just thought I'd do it since I was already in there..... not planning to run the car. Going to install A&A and then trailer it to tuner.

Injectors need scaled when changing sizes.
