Default 26lb vs 28lb Injectors

im about to buy an ls6 intake and can get the 28lb injectors and the stock fuel rail for 40 bucks more. should i go for it? i have the 26's on my car now and will be getting a tune right after i install it

so will i get any sort of gain from going through the trouble to switch everything out?

The injectors go for about $40 bucks period. I swapped my 26s out for 28s just to get my duty cycle down so i would be in a safer range when spraying the car. Since you are getting it retuned anyway I would deff go ahead and swap out the injectors...

If you dont tune your car after you go from 26 to 28, will it make your car run richer?

Sorta...26 to 28 is a small enough change that closed loop will for the most part correct it after it's initially rich...but I'd still correct the tune for it.
