L59 Injector options? I am looking at purchasing a low mileage complete L59 for a junk yard turbo build. With an S480 BW turbo, will these 33lb'ers be enough to make 600? If not, are there any options for injectors that fit these connectors/fuel rails? Or, should I keep searching for an LM7. Thanks all.

Not even close. You'd be in the 45lb range and that's bhp not even whp. You'd should go for 60's. Those injectors are out of steam at 450bhp.
Your rail is going to be either LS1 or LS2 style for those years. There are a TON of options. Just need to find some EV1 60's injectors. At worst you'll have to run a 1/2" spacer on the rail and different o-rings.
Unless you already have the s480 I'd go a little smaller with a 5.3L and a goal of 600. the 480 is a pretty beast turbo(read laggy on smaller motors). Maybe closer to the 72-76mm range rather than 80/88. The low side of the compressor map for that turbo is about 750bhp.
