Does anyone know how much fuel is injected per one stroke?

If I understand the dmax correctly, that ammount is not a constant. The engine has the capabiltity to fire the injector many times per second, as to the combustion need.

Maybe one of the chevy gurus can give you a better answer.

Yes, in fact you can watch it on a scanner. It tells you the volume of the pilot shot and the main shot in microliters. It is around 1 uL for the pilot and around 25 uL for the main if you are unloaded going 70 mph on flat ground.

Are those figures for stock programing? I wonder what they are for a huge program?

The figures I mentioned would be the same regardless of a program or not because of the low load condition. When you put it on the deck, then the numbers would be alot bigger w/a program.
