There is absolutely no point in installing 30lb injectors on a stock motor and you can actually hurt your performance. A common misconception is that bigger injectors equal more power. The only time you'd want to upgrade your injectors is if you get a supercharger or you heavily modify your engine.

^+1, 30lbs would be too much for a mostly stock engine, only when you have heavily modified the engine would you want to move into bigger injectors. With the upgrades you have listed, there is no reason to touch the fuel system.
