well to be honest with you, you went about this the tottaly wrong way, with that exaust and those injectors your gonna a ton of mods to make it work, i'd suggest going with a 3.4 and do cam heads and anything else you can afford

bigger engine, cam, headers, rockers, full intake, and about everything you can throw at these engines.... Or just go with a full custom chip.
I have 3.4, rockers, headers, polished intake, stock ecm and I still ran rich with 19lbs.

it would be easier to just try and find someone who does it, there are a few people on the boards who do them, i'll let them chime in though, don't know if they are freelancing their services
to be honest, its gonna be cheaper to go back to the stock 15's

nope. Just some info here.
I have a 3.4, it takes 17lb injectors factory.
Mods done to it:
polished intake to flow better
debured heads (removed casting flaws)
3 angle valve job
1.6 rockers
headers
catback
modified air intake
all around oem replacement performance ignition (distrib, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, coil) Everything short of a msd-6a.
with all this, 19lb injectors are still to much for my car during normal driving ranges. Up high above 3000 or so, it helped alot. This could be fixed with my stock 17'lbs, and a re-programmed chip, and/or bump up some fuel pressure.
factory designs injectors to run at 80??% duty cycle. You can easly go up 5% with out any issues. Can also bump fuel pressure up about 3-5lbs w/o issues.
most injected cars use 14.7 parts air, to 1 part gas (14.7:1 ratio)
so you have to push some MASSIVE air thru an engine to need more gas. Ontop of everything I have, I would need a cam, and/or some ported heads to get somewhere a stock set of injectors cant be adjusted for thru pressure, or re-programmed ecm.
I'm not bashing your idea, but really, it doesnt sound like your to the point of having to justify more fuel then your stock setup cant handle at the moment. You can easly run an intake, catback, ignition. Them infact are the first things we would all recommend to you with a full tuneup/fluid flush.

msd-6a seems to help at higher rpms, some have reported it takes longer to start the car with it.
It basically repeats half of what the stock ecm does.
paint n body? Send me some 91 light teal paint and a gm drivers front fender please
