Get some NEW AC code injectors. You will love them!

Just installed them in Chelsea's Excursion and you could not ask for a better injector for 350hp...

You get what you pay for with injectors, not knocking Rosewoods stuff, but even he will tell you a brand new injector will beat a rebuilt injector.

I have run injectors from AA's to 250/200 hybrids and everything in between, and those AC's in Chelsea's Ex are the cats meow.

As long as you get the tungsten coating (another 300$, of course..) I see no reason why the budget builds are bad (assuming your stick aren't already shot to begin with). How much do ac's run? Aren't those just factory SD sticks?

Yes ACsz are stock but not in a SD. They are the same size as your stage 1 "sticks".

What do AC's come in then? And how much does a new set of AC's (and from where...) go for?

AC injectors are found in the high torque version of the T444E and do not come in any Powerstrokes. They have the same internals as the AB injectors with the exception of the single shot plunger and barrel. However due to them being single shot injectors they flow 160cc. This is due to the way the split shots work. They have a small passage that opens, much like a port in a two stroke engine, that are uncovered that bypass the injection pressure out the side of the barrel instead of out the end through the nozzle. Because of this pause a portion of the travel of the plunger does nothing for injecting fuel so a split shot injects less fuel for the same amount of travel as a single shot.


any of the vindors can get you ACs, not sure on price you would have to ask.

So wait are you sayiong AC's are split shots? I rreally hope not. If they are competitive to the rosewoods budgets I may consider them. Otherwise I'll prolly stick with roses. I'm def curious on a price tho
