The 3 or 4 psi info is true, but not because the injectors stop working,
but because as your boost comes up, the pressure differential across
the injector is decreasing by the boost pressure value.
This can be overcome, even on the holley system by using a port
type differential pressure regulator, whereby the injectors inlet
pressure is raised by the amount of boost, so that the injector
pressure differential is constant.
The parts needed, are the port type regulator, and a higher pressure
port type fuel pump.
Hope this helps,
