It will be a close call, but I recommend you connect the injectors every
other port to leverage the 8:1 oversubscription.

Although documentation states "No chassis or slot restrictions; the
module can occupy any slot in any Catalyst 6500 or Catalyst 6500-E
chassis.", I've had better results placing the 6148E in the top slot,
that way you benefit from trickle-down electricity.

Hope this helps,
