Yeah they are really nice looking but they are rather expensive. I will see if they are worth it. The shop i got them through uses them soley on sll the cars they build. They mainly do big supra and viper builds. They are starting to get into lsx stuff.

So these injectors will be different than the FIC 1000s you had?

Supposedly these are the best injectors and supposedly they have the best data. Alot of big power people swear by them. Time will tell. They sure are proud of them but i only paid $860

I'd like to see your results.

I have the FIC 1000 injectors and I seriously went from 12 mpg highway with the Delphi 42s to 7-8 mpg with the FIC 1000s. FIC said they've never heard of MPG loss like this before.

That being said, the 1000s are maxed out and need to upgrade, but I would love to have some MPG back.

My mpg did the same with the fic injectors. Perhaps i just suck at tuning or something.

The data is what your paying for. Nobody can say they have better data than ID does.

The part I'm stumped about is that AFR is essentially unchanged and in line. How can I lose 4-5 mpg with identical AFR? I'm guessing the FIC injectors do not have a good spray pattern compared to the OE injectors causing inefficient burn.

It is not the steady state that kills mpg it is the transitions. At least from my observations.

Previously when i was NA i had some regular marine injectors. I got like 15-16 mpg. Then i got some better settings for them and i was getting 18-19. Then i switched to the turbo with the fic injectors and i got 10-12.
