Default Mileage And Injectors

Quick question. Who makes the best first gen injectors when it comes to improving fuel mileage?

There are more variables involved, but most likely you're looking at Bosch 190s or maybe New Era 300s or even 330s.

thanks for the info, I was just wondering if there was anything out there like the rv275s for the vp44 trucks. Every little bit of mileage increase helps.

I've heard some good things about Red Oak Diesel, which is a company that has gotten credible through operation out of eBay... TheDieselDude is the name of the seller.

eBay Motors: DODGE CUMMINS 90.5-93 12 VALVE PERF. INJECTORS +3MPG (item 260233726376 end time May-04-08 04:52:19 PDT)

The injectors he sells on Ebay are 5x12s which is the same as a 370. I had asked around about them before I bought my New Eras, and nomebody really had much feedback. The description they have on Ebay sounds really good, and its a good price after the core.

Just because they're the same size as 370's doesn't mean that they're the same as 370's. Who knows the difference in nozzle shape or spray pattern.

I'm not saying that they're not 370's since I have no idea, but there's more to an injector than hole size.

I was just posting the info he emailed me about them. Whether they're extrdude honed or EDMed or whatever, I don't know. The hole size and count is the same as a 370 though.

Yea Bobby I put them in the other day right after I talked to you.
