Edlebrock 3860 Purchased - Should I have Injectors replaced?

I just purchased a bunch of stuff including the Edlebrock 3860 Hi Flo Intake Manifold Baseplate for my 87 Iroc. My question is that while reading the directions it mentions that the injectors are removed or at least easily accessible. Just wondering if this is a good time to have them replaced and also my second question and most important: My 87 Iroc came with a 305 engine Tuned Port Injection. Previous owner swapped in a 350 engine and I am assuming they just carried over the old fuel injectors. Just wondering what size injectors are better for the 350. Thanks

Stock 350 TPI injectors are 22#. If you replace them, do NOT buy Accel or Venom. Do a search... most people have had problems with those two brands. From my own experience, the Accel's are no good... I bought some and they only lasted a year or so before they started going bad.

Hope this helps.
