Does the Raptor use a high dP injector to allow throttling? Is this how you can get more thrust out of a non-throttleable version, by using a low dP injector?

Throttling is done by adjusting flow to the ox and fuel preburners. The lower limit of thrust is ox & fuel turbopump injector preburner “stiffness”, essentially when do the preburner elements start flaming out.
