Default Fuel injectors for sum 8728r1

Would the 8.1 injectors or flex fuel injectors work with a 8728r1 cam in a 6.0 or should I get something else? I ask because I have a set of the 8.1 already but can get flex fuel injectors at 3$ a piece right now. Would either of those work?

8.1 marine injectors or truck injectors and you havent given to much detail. If you have just a stock motor with a cam it should be enough. This is a simple question Google could have answered honestly. The marine injectors flow more and if you want more answers from people then you need to give alot more detail on your setup.
vehicle?
Power goals?
Mods?
Fuel type?
Gearing?
Fuel system setup?

I googled it and got nowhere or I wouldn't be here. Stock lq9 with a 8728r1 in a truck with 3.73 gears. My goals.are pretty much whwt comes from that setup. The injectors i have are truck 8.1 injectors but the injectors currently installed are stock and dont work right as it is, so im trying to figure out which injectors will keep up with the cam.

That's a fairly stock truck, I dont see why they wouldn't be enough. Id put them in and see what it gets you, if you already have them whats the harm in giving them a shot. For reference on the flex fuel injectors I had a setup years ago that I had 400 rwhp on the 36lb pound flex fuel injectors and they were plenty on that setup and it was running e85. I actually still have those injectors sitting in a box in my shed. Also you can get answers like that on chat gpt, you can literally list all your parts and ask it will the injectors be enough and it will break it down with flow ratings and everything.

I hear ya, I wouldn't go as far as getting a robot in my house but as far as getting data such as flow ratings and injectors capabilities its good for that.
