Default Upgrade fuel system?

Wondering if there are any worthwhile fuel system upgrades for my '02 Z28. I've been looking at fuel injectors on texas Speed, but I'm not sure what the differences are in the pounds (as in 33lb injectors, 35lb etc etc). Would it be worth the $300+ to change those over my stock injectors? Any discernible advantages? And what's the deal with Injector Dynamics?!? $900+?? That's insane.

Also had a question about the fuel pump. I have a Delphi fuel pump I picked up from my local O'Reilly last year that me and a buddy installed (cut a trap door in the hatch; so much easier). It all went smoothly, and seems to work fine, except for one small detail: my fuel gauge no longer seems to want to work right. Half the time it'll give an accurate reading, half the time it'll say full even if it's almost empty. Luckily I track my gas mileage and use my trip meter, so I know when to fill up regardless. But I'm wondering if this could be indicative of a bigger issue?

dont worry about injectors the stock ones are fine until yoou go full bolt ons and cam. also the sender is one with the fuel bucket so you may have gotten a defective one. if theres a warranty you could probably swap it out fairly quick

Alright, I'll stick with stock injectors then. I'll also look at the warranty for that pump, since it is kind of aggravating. Thanks for the input.
