Default Injector ?

I have a 1998 Ultra with an Arlen Ness Big Shot tuner and recently picked up a set of the red Screamin Eagle injectors for nothing. My ? being if I install these injectors which are advertised to deliver 41% more fuel do I still need to run the Big Shot to add more fuel? This FI stuff is all new to me, any help will be appreciated.

Bike runs fine. I am just not a fan of the piggy-back module and if I could get rid of it by installing the red injectors I would be a lot happier.

while i can't vouch for the big shot tuner, i can say that im not a big fan of modules like it. the only piggyback that i can vouch for is the pcIII or pcV. BUT!!!!! if the bike runs fine i would sugest leaving it alone, MM systems can be a pain and its almost a miracle to get them to run properly. By just adding a set of injectors, you are blindly adding fuel....where as the tuner well have several diffrent numbers sum positive sum negative. hopefully this makes sense.
