Default Height difference between truck injectors (LQ9) and LS3 injectors?
Right now I am running a modified truck rail (drilled/tapped on each end for -6 fittings) along with stock LQ9 injectors. All of this is on-top of a LS6 intake that I made custom hold-downs for.

I recently acquired a set of LS3 injectors and am wondering how much shorter they are then the LQ9 injectors. The LQ9 injectors I believe are shorter then the standard LS1/LS6 injectors, how much shorter are the LS3 injectors versus the LQ9?

Thanks in advance,
James

the ls 3 injector is 38mm o ring to o ring. the lq9 is 48mm so you are missing 1/2 inch. We have these adapters. They even have a filter in them

10mm isn't quite .5".

10 x 0.0393= .0393"

Not sure how much a 10th of an inch would make though.

Any reason for aftermarket rails vs these modified truck rails?
