Default what pressure to run 19lb per hr injectors at to make 24lb per hr ??

I have a brand new set of 19lb TPI injectors and was wondering if I could bump my fuel pressure up to compensate being they are not 24's. Normally I would buy the right ones but I had bought these brand new for my 305 TPI engine and figure they might work in my vette.

so is this possible? The motor is bone stock.

if they are multecs be very careful as they lock up at 50 psi. Plus the smaller injectors have mechanical limitations, meaning you can't squeeze more fuel through it. You can sell those on third gen and get a set of Bosch 24's for as low as 144 a set,
