Did you check the spark plug wires for arcing?  Spray a water mist on
them at night, any visible sparking means replacing them.

Second, there is really no such thing as performance CIS injectors as
far as I know. They either flow the right amount of fuel, or they don't.
Flowing more fuel at a given pressure merely throws off the mixture and
reduces performance.
