996 or 997 injectors?

Gents,
I’m replacing my injectors and wanted to ask the folks who have 3.8 builds if they’re running stock 996.2 3.6 injectors or the 997 injectors for the added displacement and a corresponding ECU tune to pull fuel at upper end?

I think mine are stock 3.6 injectors and mine is still running on a stock ECU tune. Next time I wander upstairs I'll see if the build info brings further clarity.

I too have a 3.8L motor. As far as I can tell, the stock ECU and injectors were reused when the motor was redone as a 3.8L.

I got an email back from Softronics Scott. He kept it simple. He said with our ECU and 3.8 the engine can’t use all the fuel flow 996 injectors provide with a mild tune. Race/track motor-different animal. Head flow, intake/exhaust volume, etc.
