your timing wont have anything to do with your a/f ratio. I would think that you would need a tune to with speed density to change injectors, but Im not sure.

Sounds like you could really use the services of a good dyno shop. A good dyno shop will measure your air/fuel ratio on the computer, and will work with you to tune the car in.
Shop around in your area for one. Shouldn't cost over $100 for this. I got 3 pulls on a dyno for $50 in my area.
