The 5.3 stock has something like 24 or 26 #, can't remember exactly. You should move up to 42# with a bigger in-tank pump or an auxiliary inline pump.

make sure you retune for the new injectors or you'll run really rich

You will definitely need to tune for the bigger injectors.

yeah the computer won't "learn" the injector size. you have to tell it what size they are.
