Default What injectors should I get?

I still have the stock ones on there and don't hardly know anything about them, in terms of what's good and beastly, high-end. I know this is stupid, but I'm looking for the biggest boost I can get out of them without sacrificing fuel economy. I just realized that I've done a lot of things to my mustang that I shouldn't have too lol. like take all the smog pump stuff out. At least my 'check egine' light hasn't come on yet. what I like to refer to as the 'dumbass light' lol responses, opinions, facts... all appreciated.

^+1 You do not need to upgrade your fuel injectors until you hit about 300hp (give or take) but when you do start making that power your next step up will be 24lb injectors.

heads cam and intake swap. you can do the injectors with that and notice a BIG difference. also, get a good size tb and a matching, or larger MAF calibrated for the injectors.
