Injectors (conservative) usually have better spray patterns for power and mpg.
Some lift pump manufacturers (Air Dog, FASS) claim MPG gains as a result of cleaner, water free fuel, and consistent flow to the injection pump (which is big $$).

I think you're right. 3-4K to rebuild my trans will buy a lot of fuel!
Even new stock injectors would be a major improvement. I'm sure mine with 170K probably aren't giving the cleanest spray pattern anymore.
One of the things with the FASS systems is that they remove air bubbles in the fuel to the injector pump. Stock the fuel has air in it that makes it less efficient. I don't like having to put a draw straw in though. (new tube to suck up the fuel) I actually was working on my own air bubble separator system and it worked at removing the air. (tested with a fountain pump in water then introduced air bubbles into the water) The only problem was the container I made for it leaked. I still need to come up with a good container and I think it would work.
