You have to change the tune. If your old ones were 26lb the pcm is expecting a certain percentage of that at a certain voltage. Obviously with bigger ones your fueling will be off.

Don't run the car with the injectors until it is tunned for them. Drive to your tunner and then put them in and have the car tunned for them.

Definitely ask beforehand next time (or do a search on here since this is a common thing to do on these cars). We won't steer you wrong...

luckily it works out that you went way rich instead of the other direction that would have made swiss cheese out of your motor :-O
