better off swapping back to your stock injectors and maf until you do the S/C install

if you have a complete set up that requires more fuel delivery than what stock can effectively deliver then yes = time for inj upgrade, like when doing an aftermarket h/c/i that is large enough, cause alot of the typical h/c/i's can use the stock 19's just fine...in fact when all adjustment are made properly, I've witnessed 300 to 320 rwhp on stock 19's but at that range the duty cycle on the injector is near 90 percent and when climate change occurs..ie cooler/more dense air....then you might run into an issue where it'll start to lean out/max injector out.
