You can use ls4 injectors and rails. Flow rate of ls2 injectors is like 33lb/hr.while ls4 is 28 lb/hr. If you want the dod Hardware removed look down a couple posts there's a part list done by saltybredstick

I can use the LS2 injectors right if I want? I plan on doing a cam swap some time too.

You can but it's pointless with just a cam swap. Stock injectors handle well over 350whp. You'd only be losing power and economy by going with the LS2s.

Bigger injectors with the right data will act just like stock injectors without a hit to power and economy

alright do the LS2 injectors use the same plugs as LS4 injectors? or need adapters? also are the LS2/LS3 throttle bodys the same? both are 90mm correct?

You can use the LS4 fuel rail, but you will need some 5/8" spacers for the 4 mounting bolts and longer mounting bolts. McMaster.com sells some aluminum ones for about $10

You can used LS4 injectors, but will need injector spacers. Available from eBay.

You can use LS2 injectors w/o needing any spacers - just need to tune for them.

LS4 and LS2 injectors used the same connector end.

The 90mm throttle bodies come in two styles - silver blade and brass blade and they suposedly open opposite of each other. The one I installed was the silver blade (LS2/LS7 version).
