Spartan has some too HERE. (Disclaimer: I'm not sure, but they may be the same as Elite's.)

Here's the problem, if you considering spending more money to get them to work properly a problem...

The supported mods necessary to flow that additional fuel can really add up. You need to maintain right around 25K fuel rail pressure @ WOT if I recall correctly, so an AirDogII (165GPH, 10PSI fixed) would be a minimum at the lowest power injector tips (60 HP) with ported fuel rails on top of that to prevent a low FRP situation. Low FRP is NOT cool...

Custom tuning on top of that. Not a big deal with most of the custom tuners, Eric @ Innovative Diesel in particular, but something you should get handled if you want to get your money's worth.

These trucks ROCK with an intake, exhaust and good tuner up to 300 additional RWHP...anything after that and you're looking at BIG dough...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would go with Ford/OEM remanufactured fuel injectors if you need to replace the ones you're running now...
