Singles give you better mileage and power, but AAs are small in stock form. You can have them mod'ed for more fueling.

What year truck are you putting these in?

A lot of poeple here have said that you pick up a couple mpg's with the single shots so that is the route I plan to go when the time comes.

My goals are the same as yours. I don't need to be the first one to the top of a grade. I want to be the last one that needs to stop for fuel.

Not sure if any of those senarios is Joe, lol, he likes to do both.. I'm shootin for hybrids, a little more money but can be tuned for your specific needs, and then be re-tuned for different power levels, nice feature..

Here's some info on the injectors you have:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A and AA injectors came in the '94-'97 non-california trucks. They are all 90cc injectors and are single shots.

AB injectors came in the '97 cali, and all early '99 trucks. They are split shot injectors meaning they fire a small pilot shot before the main shot. These injectors flow 130-135cc of fuel.


AD injectors are also split shot but flow 135-140cc of fuel due to a slightly longer plunger stroke. These are found in all late '99-'03 Powerstrokes and T444Es.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 99s you have may be AB or AD.

Single shots are supposed to return better MPG. I sure hope so because I am going to buy a set.

Hopefully those who have run both will chime in.

The AAs WILL NOT have more power than the splits in your 99 now, unless you get them mod'ed. They probably will do better MPG-wise, but you WILL require tuning to run them in the 99, since it's setup to run splits. You're going from 130-140cc injectors to 90cc injectors. Get them mod'ed. My 235cc hybrids started out as AAs. I can get 22+mpg out of 'em -or- over 400hp. Not both.

Whatever you end up deciding on I'd recommend you take a look at Riffraff Diesel for your purchase.

I've spent literally thousands of dollars with them and have had nothing but a pleasant experience every time I've bought something.

You'd be extremely hard pressed to beat their level of customer service.

Man, it sounds to me like you need to hook up with Clay @Riffraff Diesel. He can answer all your injector questions plus get you a great price. Also, I got all my ceramic-coated stuff from him. He has great prices and the guys around here will tell you that you won't beat his service. http://www.riffraffdiesel.com

I have heard some stories about modding your own injectors. They really need to be flow tested to do the job right. Casserly injectors, plain and simple. Its not something you want to cheap out on.

I have Casserly Stage 1 SS in my truck with a 38R Turbo and it moves. The SS have a bit of a lope/rougher/ louder idle to them though. I dont mind it sounds like horsepower to me

Stage 2s will get you 60-75 RWHP. Stock, look for 310-325. With stage 1s, look for about 350-375. Stage 2s should get you 375-400.
