19# is stock. Upgrading injectors on a stock or near-stock engine is 100% pointless

You're not going to need bigger injectors until you're approaching the 300rwhp mark. Since it sounds like your car is completely stock, here's what I'd do to start out:
1. Gears- by far the best bang for the buck mod there is. You won't gain any power, but it'll feel like a new beast. 3.73's for a 5speed, 4.10's if auto.
2. Rear control arms- once agian, no power gain. But, you've gotta get that power to the ground. 3.73's will have no problem burning through a few gears with stock tires. Upper and lower RCA's are preferable, if you only do one set get lowers.
3. Larger MAF- your stock MAF is smaller than your throttle body (55mm and 58mm, respectively). You don't need a bigger TB yet, but you'll gain a bit of power by opening up the intake a bit. You can only flow as much air as the tightest opening in your engine will allow. The MAF will need to be calibrated for 19# injectors.
That should get you started, search for "gears" on the forums and you'll find a million posts about it, all you need to know is in there.
