Default do i need new fuel jets?

i'm in the process of swapping a 5.3 into my '94 firebird. i was spraying my LT1 with nitrous and have a set of jets. with my 5.3 i'm using the same Racetronix pump i had with the LT1 but using a C5 fuel regulator. i'm going to need to get new fuel jets, correct?

If it is a different type of nitrous system, like going from a nozzle to a plate or vice versa, the jets will be different anyways. Or any change in fuel pressure would require a change in fuel jet size.

LT1's ran somewhere around 43.5 psi, LS stuff runs close to 60 psi factory.

So odds are, yes. You will need different jets!

i think i'm just going to go to a plate setup, with a SLP lid setup there isn't much room for a nozzle between the MAF and TB.
