Bigger injectors

So I bought 42 injectors for my balt for the supercharger I was planning on putting in it. It's a 2.2 09 LS. I have since decided not to supercharge it currently and was wondering if I can still use the 42 injectors in it. If I can what all is required to run them and will they help on power/fuel economy or just be pointless?

You will need a different harness to plug them in first off and then a tune to run them. And after all that they will not help with power or fuel economy at all. The only need for more fuel is more air flow (i.e. forced induction)

Like I said the only reason to need bigger injectors is if you are flowing more air into the engine. Unless you go forced induction or do major head work (porting, cams, etc) you will not max out the stock injectors. Just putting bigger injectors with the potential to inject more fuel will not do anything at all for performance.
