just speculating I would say wait-

again speculation;
if you have bigger injectors, you're pumping more fuel into the engine, and your stock fuel pump would have to be supplying this fuel. This is where I think you'd have issues if any; whether your fuel pump can keep up with your injectors. I don't know what consequences this would have, but I say play the patience game, as tough as it is

Changing injectors doesn't add any more power. You'll just be running a larger injector at a lower pressure. The volume won't increase. You can do the swap now and the pump later.
