Question Bigger injectors or better chip

My dad's buddy has a 2005 and he wants to put bigger injectors in it, but i think he needs to buy another programmer.

Heres a list of the mods already done:
Edge with Attitude
90hp injectors
FASS Fuel 150gph
S300
Dual Disc Clutch
50hp tune to get rid of the top speed limiter(plugged into the computer at a shop and they said it was worth 50hp)
Gauges.

I told him he needs to get a smarty or something like that, but he wants to get 150hp injectors. what do you guys think?

Your ole man's friend could really go one of two ways... he could stack a smarty to the edge or poke bigger injectors in it...either way there's always room for improvement... however one thing to note. When stacking programmers always make sure to never mix two programs that both allow for timing advances.. they will both fight each other and the end results ain't pretty...

He could keep the Edge for the Gauges and then run the Smarty.

Stack them might need more fuel to the pump and rail but it will be worth it
