Default High Flow Fuel Injectors?

I own a 2002 Lexus sc430. Does anyone have any experience with installing high flow fuel injectors? I read that upgrading the injectors is useless because an ECU tune is necessary, which is not possible on our cars? Is that correct? Are upgraded fuel injectors a waste of money?

I found some modified OE fuel injectors with a higher flow rate at Fiveomotorsport that are interesting.. Any questions, comments, or critisisms are welcomed!

Its useless.....waste of money and degrade in performance.
You will have to re-map the ECU for different injectors....but you don't need to since your engine will never max out the injector cycle.
