You should start it with whatever injectors it is tuned for. In fact, an injector change should not be done until you are with the tuner.

+1. I would not try to start it if you have changed the injector size.

I'd like to know this as well. Is replacing the stock injectors a must when doing a heads/cam swap? I'm about to do mine and hadn't planned on injectors.

yea put the stock injectors back on there or have your tuner calibrate the computer for the larger injectors. The last thing you want to do is kill your rings because of too much fuel and you will do that.

To get it to idle better i would adjust that screw on your throttle body.

I drove to the tuners with stock injectors and changed when I got there. He did an initial tune for the restart with larger injectors. I agree with all above.
