Well what injectors did you have before? Going to bigger injectors or injectors that work at a slightly level vs voltage as the old ones will mess you up.

yeah you'll be WAY rich until you get a different chip. Put the 24's back in. Unless you were lean before you should be fine if all you did was the cam.

It's rich. It's putting in too much fuel. Your injectors are too big and/or your fuel pressure is too high and/or your pulse width (chip programming) is wrong for the combination of the other 2 things.

Your chip is obviously not for your cam and your injectors, if it was, it would work right. Your chip is for some other cam and some other injectors (specifically, smaller ones). The proof is coming out your tailpipe. You can't argue with reality.

The stock chip is going to be even worse than a custom one made for somewhat larger injectors, since the stock chip thinks that when the injectors open, 22 lbs come out each hr, but instead 30 lbs are coming out. So it's going to be just pig rich, drowning the spark plugs and blowing black smoke and killing trees for miles around with noxious fumes and drainign your wallet through the gas tank faster than you can fill it back up.

Burn your own PROMs. Be a tuner instead of an appliance operator. Nobody can fix it for you as easily or as cheaply as you can dial it in yourself.
