theyre 17# instead of #15, but you can get #17 injectors from a 3.4, or better yet #19 SVO injectors, you can find sets of those for cheap all over ebay(and at GM fuel pressures they flow more like 21/22 lbs). What kind of HP are you making, and are you planning on tuning the ECM to adjust for the injectors(or just a fmu)?

well im gonna go with fmu for now, which if what ive been told is right,i wont need the fmu till i pass the 7psi mark,
with that said i was also told the stock injectors would be fine with an fmu upto about 10 psi but lock up above 72psi fp
so i was thinking slightly larger injector with slightly less fp

I got some ones rob suggested. 18.55 lbs out of a buick. They were hard to find, but the easy ones to find are 18.1 IIRC.

Very quiet too!!

hmm wait, i just noticed some inconsistencies in my post lol . . . 3.4 injectors are #17, i dont know for sure what size 3.1's are, i know they arent 17 though. i think maybe 15 and 2.8s are like 14 or something . . .

i dont know that much about fmu'ing these injectors, my plan is either tuning the ecm for the injectors or maybe running a stealth megasquirt setup but keeping the old ecu for easy emissions testing (if i build the MS stuff myself it ends up costing about the same as tuning equipment for the stock ecm, but its a crapload better and is still easier/cheaper than switching to 730 or 749 . . . especially if i want to keep everything else stock). FMU's seem to be a little guessworky anyways, so i would step up an injector size or two anyway just to be on the safe(rich) side.
