Question Injectors

Ok, all this talk about single shot and split shot injectors has me thinking I should go with singles. If so, who/ where could I get my PCM flashed. And you guys that have them do you see an increase in mpg? I have 2 or three that arn't firing untill it warms a bit, usually a min. or two.
Thanks, Bill

The higher MPG's is one of those things that works on paper. I wouldn't expect to see real world increases with normal driving.

Any of the normal go to custom tuners can get you a tune to run the singles.

Hmm, it seems I may just stay with the stock ones and replace as-needed. I plan on getting a tuner soon, so that will give me some options.

I waited until my stock sticks were starting to domino - then I did them all. While I don't regret this upgrade - I wouldn't want to do it before it was necessary.

I did see an improvement of ~.5 mpg, once everything was dialed in. While this may not be the 1-3 mpg that some claim, over time it does add up in savings. It would take me years to recupe all the money I spent on my mods if it were based on fuel savings alone. But,I now have a truck that is "well rounded" and as long as I'm happy with the results, that is all that matters.
