Default 4.8 to 5.3 swap, injectors sizes?? 5.3's needed!!

I did a Silverado swap, 03 4.8 to a 04 5.3. I used the 4.8 injectors on it and now it runs lean. The pcm was tuned for a 5.3 with 5.3 injectors. I thought they were all the same? unless it was a 99 or flex fuel. Anyone have some 5.3 injectors, preferably 04.

what you thought was correct, they are the same. are you running an aftermarket cam? do you have access to tuning/ logging equipment?
