Thanks for all the info. This is my daily driver so it sees about 15K-20K miles a year depending on how far away work is.
BackroadBomber...were you still seeing a consistant MPG bump?
beater911...the grey ones sound interesting also. I like the fact that they are four hole (has to be better than my single hole) and that they match the 14# flow rate of our trucks. The biggest reason I asked about the California ones was I thought better atomization and better emmisions would be a great win-win. I'll take better atomization if I can get it though.
ERTW...I believe everything you said but I don't have a clue what it means LOL. I am not very technologically saavy, so you may have to dumb it down for me a bit
. As for the ecu programming...way above my head... my very simplistic plan was to find an injector that gave me a better spray pattern/atomization and change out my O2 sensors at the same time and let the ecu "figure it out". Both O2 sensors may be stock and even if the previous owner had replaced them right before I bought the truck, they have 105K miles on them just from me driving it. I know it seems rather "hillbilly" but it's about the limits of my technological abilities.
I'm going to look into the grey ones from the Contour, they seem like a good option for now. Unless anyone else has a different suggestion. I'll do much research before jumping in with both feet.
Thanks again for the info.
