what kind of plugs are you using? it could also be the modified stock injectors... since they're a bit harder to control from what I've heard...

Did put brand new plugs in the same time you put the mod'd injectors in?

If that's not the case, and you put new plugs in some time afterwards, being when problem started, I'd bet its a combination of new plugs and the injectors... meaning its the injectors.

Honestly, I'm guessing here about those specifics. But the only problems I can see, and other experience folks on this thread can see, is always related to the injectors. Bit the bullet and get them checked. If they're OK, at least you'll have that peace of mind and can look elsewhere for the problem.
