Default ~100% IDC. Would more injector increase power?

My specs are as follows:
C5Z06
Stock intake/tb
ported heads
230/230 114lsa .590 cam
ARH headers
3.90 gears

Tuner says that I have essentially maxed out my injectors.

Can anyone tell from my dyno if switching from stock to these injectors:

Will help me increase power levels? Will it make the car idle badly or affect driveability to have high IDC with the current injectors or low IDC with the new ones?

i am gonna throw out an uneducated guess and say your power will not change. be a good idea obviously to get some bigger injectors and drop your idc back down to where it needs to be. with it tuned correctly your idle should be just fine with bigger injectors.

No need to change the injectors based on information you have provided. A good injector will operate above 100% IDC, there is no indication from your dyno runs you are going lean & running out of injector. IDC is also a mathematical calculation.

Best power is when the injector is on a longer period of time for good fuel atomization.

New injectors with proper data will have no affect on the tune assuming they are good quality, if they are big & the IDC drops..........

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll stay with the stock injectors for now.

My other problem now is to get rid of the bucking and surging:

If your AFR is not off on the dyno pull, then larger injectrors would not gain you any power, but would just give you some extra wiggle room.

from my understanding, a 100% duty cycle injector is basically no longer pulsating and just free flowing at wot. That should definitely hurt power and not to mention the risk of going lean... I'd get bigger ones. You really should not go above 80% duty cycle on injectors

I agree with Goose! Well said.
