Default 19# injectors enough?

hey guys, so i am going to be upgrading my intake with a lightning mass air meter from anderson motorsports, a power pipe, 75mm throttle body, and a holley systemax intake. My car already has 1.6 aluminum rr, and an e303 along with full exauhst. are the 19# injectors enough for right now, or will i be running lean and need to upgrade to 24#ers?

well im going to put the intake on first working from the mass air back, i already have the loadio mass air from anderson motorsports, i was originally going to go s/c but i started looking at price of doing everything and decided i would just do all motor/a little nitrous. So im going to spread out the cost of everything so that i dont go bankrupt.
I go on spring break on friday (ISU) and anderson ford motor sports is 30 min's away from me so im going to go down before heading home and pick up the rest of the intake. figure then i can save up for heads and a new cam for the beginning of summer then

with the increased air flow you are getting more air then fuel which makes the engine run lean. You shouldnt have to worry to much, but if you want to maximize the combination it would be recomended to move up in size
