Default Injectors for Mild 5.3 Build

Doing a mild 5.3 build with 10.5:1 compression, Elliot Lloyd ported 5.3 heads and a Comp Cams 200/212 .527/.510 117 cam. This is a truck motor that's going to see some mild towing. I'm wondering if the stock 5.3 injectors are upto the task. I have access to a set of 28.8 LS1 injectors. Will these fit the stock 5.3 intake or do I have to have a set of LS1 rails? What is the stock 5.3 injector size? I would like to send the ECM in for a tune and need to work out the injector size before then.

Prolly can reuse the 5.3 injectors. Or can use the truck version 42lb. From 8.1 trucks. I think the stock lq4 injectors can be used also. Idk if there any different from the 5.3s though
I have few sets of lq4/9 injectors if interested

28.8 should be more than enough. They are good to around 450rwhp. I have 430rwhp and I am about 85% duty cycle.

I figured the 28.8s would be a good choice but I need to know if they can be installed on the truck intake without mods to the rail.

As long as the truck rail you have uses the taller EV1 injectors they should work fine.
