most injectors are rated at 3 bar... 43.5psi...... the LS1 runs at 4 bar... 58.06 psi.... so they will be bigger in our cars..... closer to 48's........

Just be careful. You can't just run any injector at 4 bar fuel pressure. The injectors have to be designed to operate at that level. Some of the older Delphi injectors that are designed to run at 3 bar start having issues at 4 bar. Add a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator on top of that and you can run into all kinds of issues.
