AD Injectors
I have a set of AD injectors out of a superduty, well one is an AE (#8 I think). I have few questions about them:
1. Is it benefical to run these in our trucks?
2. Do I need to find another AD to replace the AE?
3. What kind of performance gain would I be looking at?
4. Or would I just be wasting my time and sould just wait til I can get some stage 2's through Jim?
Thanks guys!
P.S. I know that I would have to get my chip reburnt.

It is not a cali truck but if I have my TW chip tuned for them I thhink it would be fine. I also have a 17* pump which is what pushes them stoke so that should be fine too. Do you see any other issues and do I need to replace the AE injector?

As long as the AD are free and you have a 17degree HPOP your good. have tony burn your chip for them and your good to go. Thats what I am running.

They are but I will have to buy an AD to replace the AE. Did you replace the AE? How do you like yours?

I don't know if you would have to get rid of the AE or not. AFAIK the only difference between AD and AE is the solenoid pack. Which, I think, keeps it open just a bit longer.
Mine ran 144,000 miles with a stock AE and never gave me any problems.

Why?
The only difference between them is that the Intensifier Piston is about .004" shorter on the AE, equal to about 3 cc more, not a big deal unless you're really picky about having your injectors flow matched.
I have seen sets of Pistons off by as much as .008" from longest to shortest in a set of 8 injectors, so I really don't see how that little bit would affect you.
I'm sure it does, but that small amount, IMO isn't worth worrying about. Throw it in and forget about it...

I would say they complain more about the reason for the injector being in there than the injector itself

Deadheaded Fuel was a big mistake.

I have installed AE's as sets of 8.
I must have it mixed up with just cyl #8.
