Orange injectors (stock) = 19lb/hr
Blue injectors (the ones you need) = 24lb/hr
Red injectors = 30lb/hr

Whenever you upgrade injectors, you also need to have the MAF recalibrated with a new transfer curve for the new injectors (or buy an aftermarket MAF with the calibration already built in).

Mass air meter and injectors must match, regardless of size.

A chip will just be like throwing money away.
Nothing you have there is extreme and needs a chip.
Never use a chip to cure a problem, it's just a bandaid.
