Default If I get bigger injectors do I have to change computer stuff

So I keep reading about getting bigger injectors. I dont think I need them now...but down the road I am thinking about Supercharging....and I will need them then....so when I get them and put them on...do I have to do some custom programming to make them work or will they work on their own???? This is an issue I do not know anything about.
somebody please explain what I need to do when I buy bigger injectors.

Depends on how much bigger I believe. If you go from your 26# stockers to 88# you'd be better served installing there. 30# should run good enough, but how far is the tuner from your place?

30 minute highway drive... 5-10 minutes stop and go.

Might try pagin NoGo or TeamZR1 on this as they seem to have a good handle on the whole tuning and injectors...different views as many of us do, but they are both very helpful and dayum smart on it.

well, i know that swapping from 26#'s to 42#'s the car hardly sputters to run. it takes 10 minutes to swap them out, so i'd suggest just doing the swap at the tuners shop. it'd be a ton easier.
