General question, doing 100+ pork sliders using Hawaiian Slider buns. These will have pulled pork topped with coleslaw and pickled jalapeños. How many oz’s of pork should I plan per slider…would 2-3 oz be enough?

On sliders? Dunno ounce wise, but I would guess 1/2 ice cream scoop per slider, 1 full scoop on ones without toppings -
2 oz.
I happen to have a slider bun, some pulled pork from this weekend and an analytical scale. So I checked. It was 1.4 oz pork, but the pork was cold and rigid. So with it sauced and a nice helping on a slider bun, not a regular hamburger bun, 2 oz would be perfect.

To answer your question, YES 2-3 oz of pulled pork.
Are you intending to weigh out each portion?
Now the planning, how many or total weight of pork butts or butts will it take?
Question: How Much Cooking Weight Is Lost In Smoked Pork Butt
The Boston Butt will lose about 35-40 percent of its original raw weight when cooked. That’s due to the large amounts of fat and the bone. An 8lb. Butt will yield about 5lbs. How much weight does pork shoulder lose when smoked?

Assuming 100+=120 servings, 120x2oz=240oz. 240oz/16=15lbs cooked. 15lbs is 40% of 37.5lbs
By my SWAG, 40lbs of uncooked pork butts, at 8lbs per butt, or 5 butts.
This was fun. Reminds me of my school days. I am not sure why but I just had to figure it out.Comment

bbqLuv I love the way you're thinking but you might be a tad on the heavy side....HA. I'm planning on 28-30lbs of pre cooked bone in butts.
I don't want a ton of leftovers....I know that sounds terrible but I would rather cook more later.
These are going to be judged in an appetizer competition this Saturday.

I scoff at your math. The correct answer is seven. SEVEN ounces. At least in mine...Comment
