what mods do you have that require upping the injector size? you don't want to upgrade them untill you're getting higher in the injector duty cycle range. if you're otherwise stock, i wouldn't bother going with 60's at this point. you don't really gain power from bigger injectors, they just give a higher flow of gas, which is not necesarily a good thing unless you're running out of gas with the smaller injectors.

do alot more research before you even consider going with 60lb injectors. and dont use Intense Racing's tunes. They have blown up a few cars already

where in jersey are you? and exactly what car do you have?

injectors are not the way to go. first you want to figure out what the end goal is. don't just do stuff blindly, have a set goal. once you have the goal (whether it's a horsepower goal, track time goal, just want a little more pep, appearance, etc) THEN you can start researching what it will take to get there, and mod accordingly. as an example, how much would it suck if you spent a few hundred on injectors and a tune, and then in 2 months you add more to the car, and now those injectors and tune are worthelss. or, you spend good money on a header and downpipe, then decide you want to do a turbo, and need a new header and downpipe to run the turbo. so, figure out the goal, research what's needed to get there, and then start buying. this way you know what you're doing, and don't spend money on thigns that will only hold you back.

i suggest that you start off with basic bolt-ons and not major mods like 60's as you learn more about the car.
