I thought OEM prelude injector were 290cc? Could be wrong though.

Yes, your A/f's will be messed with. Why do you feel the need to upgrade your injectors by 50-100cc when you have a stock motor? What are your future plans for the car?

If you don't have a A/f gauge with a wideband o2 sensor, I would highly advise against installing the injectors.

I mean you need a reason to install them. You don't have one. You only need higher flow rate injectors if your engine needs them. Based on your modifications, you don't need more fuel than the stock injectors are already providing.
