Default LT4 injector hate justified?

Are they absolute garbage out of the box? Nobody mentions them being worthy of flow testing or rebuilding. They just opt for Bosch 3s or something bigger. Are parts for them so unique from any other injector that rebuilding them is impossible? Is the spray pattern terrible? Why all the hate? Instantaneous combustion and death? I've wanted to post this for awhile but always restarted a search on them and can't come up with anything substantial other than replace them they are junk. So here we are....

Thanks for posting this, I am curious as well. In the process of resealing my LT4 and was thinking of having the OEM injectors sent out for cleaning/flow testing before reinstall. If there is a better path forward, I'd love to know!
