good idea or bad idea

i am looking into buying bigger fuel injectors, or atleast ss/sc injectors, now i know they are bigger, but would my 2.2 run ok without any other changes, like air/fuel wise, i am going to run them possibly with cai, exhaust, and some better plugs and wires and possibly nitrous

Bad idea. Putting in bigger injectors without being able to change the fuel pressure, pulse width, or tuning means you are going to run super rich and set of your CEL so fast your head will spin.

You have no need to change your injectors with no forced induction, BAD IDEA

TRUE
FALSE
You can definatly mod a car keeping it N/A and have to change the injectors for bigger ones. He just doesn't have the mods to where it would require larger injectors.

yes true, but forced induction is where you'll see the biggest need to upgrade injectors. Unless he completly rebuilds the motor he will not need bigger injectors.
