Default What size fuel injectors

So as most everyone probably knows by now, I have the 3.4l v6. I have 16lb fuel injectors stock or so Ive heard. Now I wanted to upgrade. One company has 16lb, 24lb, and 26lb injectors. Another company has 55lb, 65lb, 85lb, and 95lb injectors. Now I am confused. Both companies say they are made for the 3.4 camaro. I dont know enough about injectors here.

Can I seriously throw in near a 100lb injector just to be a 16yr old idiot again, or will i do that and really feel dumb when it doesnt fit?
Or is it not worth it since I dont have any substantial upgrades?
Lastly, what is the largest fuel injector I can upgrade to that is worth getting?

From what ive heard, the sudden loss in power around 4000rpms is because of the 16 lb max fuel injectors that are in there now. Im not trying to go all out since the rest of the car is pretty much stock, I just want a decent upgrade that will work the rest of the rpms just as well as the beginning of the gauge.

And real quick, yes Ive heard about the o rings. haha

Your car loses power because of the poor head and intake design. Not just because of the injectors. If you want more power, go with a cat back exhaust, cold air intake, headers, underdrive pulleys, and 3.73 or 4.10 gears. Gears won't increase power but they'll make the car a whole hell of a lot more fun to drive

Injectors do hold you back from making serious power but with those mods I listed, you should be able to run a stock 3.8 Camaro for some money lol. Mine does anyways.

Another reason an injector upgrade for the 3.4 is kinda useless is because the car will run rich at low rpms unless you have the computer tuned and since the 3.4 computer can not be tuned, you'd have to invest in a stand alone fuel/spark management system or a piggyback system such as MegaSquirt or AEM.
