new injectors = lean condition?

So if everything else stays the same, that is, fuel pressure and pulse width, would a simple upgrade to bigger injectors cause my O2 values to be screwy? I had a set of old 30lb Accel injectors and I figure I'd put them on the car since it sat for a while and my blm's are sitting at 160 instead of 128.

Is the tune set up to run the 30lb injectors?

Fuel pressure is stock for now and I just replace the maf due to another issue. I'll get it tuned as soon as it's roadable.

Likely one or more of the injectors is stuck closed from sitting on the shelf. Send them off for cleaning and flow testing.
