Default What point to add injectors????

Hello guys, and girls lol! Ive added exhaust to my 05 tahoe swapped the front end to 06 HD, lowered it, and in the progress of the stereo system.

Im planniing on adding headers to this set up, at what point would one suggest I get a bigger set of injectors and what kind/prices?

Headers alone shouldn't warrant larger injectors, but honestly it depends. If you're staying above 90% IDC it's time to start looking

I have a question related to this. Say the OP did get bigger injectors, would that cause any issues if they were not needed? Lets just say 42# injectors were used.

Assuming they were tuned properly, nothing. It might not idle as smooth, but I doubt you would notice.
