Bigger injectors?

Admittedly, I don't know much about the voodoo behind injectors. I have a 94 with a 460. Just rebuilt the motor, .030 over. Installed comp cams #:34-255-5, and complete banks system, headers to tailpipe, no converter. Deleted the air pump and all associated piping. Timing right now at 12°. Has a little bit of a lopey idle, small surge while low speed driving. With these new mods, should I increase my injectors a little bit? Or assume computer will compensate?
Thanks

No the computer can't compensate and the stockers are good for 300hp so nothing needed.

check for codes,could tell you if its lean, with o2 sensor code, check IAC, and TPS.

not saying o2 is bad, if your cam, headers, was too much, you would start getting, o2 lean codes, and check your new TPS, and make sure it is meeting the minimum closed voltage(0.6vdc),
