Which Injectors should I buy?

Ladies and Gents,

I own a 1991 GTA with a 350 TPI.

One of my fuel injectors is shot and I have a bad O2 sensor. My motor is mostly stock. But, I have aspirations of future mods (maybe heads, maybe cam). I think it's time to replace all of the injectors. What size/brand should I go with? I want something reliable that will support more horsepower. My question is, if I go with bigger injectors, will my TPI computer be able to adapt?

Also, should I take this time to do any other upgrades or routine maintenance on my motor? Is there anything else that should be replaced while the motor is torn apart?

Should I replace or upgrade the fuel rails? Should I add a fuel pressure regulator? (Will a virtually stock motor benefit from upgraded fuel rails or a fuel pressure regulator?)

Also, is there a make/brand of O2 sensor you all reccomend?

Thanks for your help!
Bill

Julie at Southbay hooked me up with eight Bosch fuel injectors and a FelPro gasket kit. They will ship Monday.

Thanks, Julie!
