Injector question... DIY or AC's???

Ok, so I'm ready to throw some more fuel at my truck and here is my question. I have an account with the local International dealer and do a ton of parts business with them for our semis so i get a good deal on personal parts. If the money wasn't all that differnt in the end (about double for the new AC's), would you go with new AC injectors or stage one DIY's? Keep in mind I also have AO injectors in my truck with less than 3k miles on them. Just want to see what yall think.

Thanks,
Eric

I would say it comes down to price in the end. Unless you are like me, then you want to build injectors just to do it. I would however like to know how the AC's do.

The AC's are going to run you alot more money and with you pretty much new injector's in there you have a great start for the DIY's. If the cash deal was even I would buy the brand new AC's. I love to do my own builds but if cost was even I would buy the easiest every time.

I have been told they are the same as Stage 1's, 160cc or so of fuel.

Yeah the AC's were in the 230 hp "high torque" international motors. From what I have read they are 160 cc. my thoughts were I could buy the new AC's at my cost, then turn around and sell the almost new AO's on ebay or here for almost the same money. I just wasn't sure of how the AC's run in our motors.
