Default Injectors

At what point in modding should you upgrade your injectors from stock, and what are the results from doing this?

it doesnt add horsepower by going with bigger injectors, its keeps your engine alive by not going lean.

i think when you upgrade cam/heads, or add a tubro or s/c you want your heads/intake combo to be balanced and that requires the motor to get enough fuel so you can adjust air fuel ratio.... would this warrant an upgraded fuel pump?

I did it after SC and Intake. I did MAF, TB and fuel pump at the same time.
