^ That's a good deal, even twice that would be fair for what you're getting (cleaning and diagnostic). Also be sure to get a new seal kit, don't reuse the old ones.

I got it from here :
Fuel Injector | 1996 Chevrolet Camaro 8 Cylinders P 5.7L SFI OHV | AutoZone.com

If I decided to get new injectors, do they make bigger ones for a gain in horsepower? If so, what would need to change with them, computer, fuel pump?

If I can find a place to get them cleaned, or reman, I probably will go that route.

you will burn more fuel. without tune, better air intake and exhaust it wont do much.

Larger injectors won't add any power unless you modified the engine so that it needs more fuel. With larger injectors (up to a point) the computer will shorten the injector pulse in order to maintain proper A/F ratio. Get them too big for the needs of the engine, and it will result in low speed drive ability issues. The most important thing is that they all flow the same, otherwise some cylinder will run rich while other will run lean, and the engine will not make optimum power.
As for price, I just purchased a set of new injectors from Rock Auto for my Chrysler 300M for just over $50 each. They also have flow tested rebuilds from $ 27 to $ 40.

Ok, but what if I did have the computer tuned? I do have the K/N intake.

Just talking at this point, but no sense in replacing a factory part if I could see a gain in HP.
