Default Got new injectors, need flow test pressure?

I just got a set of 42# SVO green top injectors. My tuner will have to make a new fuel map for them and mentioned that they may be flowed at 32psi instead of the normal 42psi to arrive at the 42# rating. Does anyone know anything about this or know for sure what psi they are flowed at? Thanks

Here you go, from a very reputable source:

http://www.witchhunter.com/flowdatapix/b0280150558.jpg

440cc/min @ 3 bar

or

41.904761904761905 lbs/hr at 3 Bar

At 4 bar they would flow 48.387451132082916 lb/hr

Injectors are normally rated at 43psi.

Vettes run @ 58psi fuel pressure though. 42# injectors in a C5 is actually flowing about 48#/hr.
