benefits of RV275's?

ive been looking around for the true benefits of the RV275's and have some questions.
1) whats the fuel mileage increase when you drive normal? heard 1-3MPGs
2) do you really get the 40 HP out of them?
3) does the spray pattern match the 24V combustion bowl in the piston?
4) will they perform well without any added fuel over stock?

they do all that but you need something to fool boost like an edge EZ or your ecm will just defuel to stock HP .I have installed them with a smarty and that combo seems to make people real happy.

They will give a little bump in mileage depending on your driving habits. I could definately feel the power increase after I installed them, although it wasn't crazy power, you could tell it was there. I would say 30-40 hp seat of pants.This was with no other mods. Run them with an EZ, XZT+, or something like that, and they give good power. Absolutely no change in EGTs vs. stock. Yes they are the correct spray pattern for your pistons.

I have no experience with the Tips you posted. Just complete Bosch injectors. Thats what my posts refer to.

The way I understand it is nozzles can be good if setup right. There is more to it than simply putting the nozzles on. Full injectors generally come ready to rock n' roll, but this isn't always the case. Which ever way you go, a set of injectors that have been flow matched, had thier pop pressures set as close to the same as possible, and have the correct number of holes and spray angles will always outperform, run cooler, be more efficient, etc., etc. than those that aren't.

My neighbor's had them in his '99 for ten years now. Couple them with an EZ and you've got a great running truck.
