Both come with flow rates and most tuners can tune them well. Fic's were about 300 bucks cheaper for the set ...........From what I heard, there is quite a bit of markup in the ID's to get the tuners/merchants to push them over the others available. Im not sure if that is true, just what I heard. There seems to be come kind of Ford/Chevy battle over the injectors with each company claiming to be the best and some disputes over who actually provided the tune data for them. I couldn't read through all the B.S. and tell who was telling me what......Sometimes I got to think to thinking people were leaning me one way or another because that is what they sell and make the most profit off of........I ended up calling both companies directly and in the end, I went with the FIC's and have NO COMPLAINTS. JUST my 2 cents FWIW

^ this, Comment of the day..

I can only say, my tuner didn't give me a hard time with my injector. He just asked how big they were, that's all. My car runs great.

You mean...it's possible to calculate flowrate and figure out the dead times without copy/paste?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!????!?!?

I was asking a guy that is well known around here for tunes about Camaro5 members saying you MUST use ID Injectors because the flow data and he gave me the stupid face look. He's good with using whatever and putting in his flow machine or something. He started talking engineering stuff and lost me.

Thank You!
My tuner suggested FAST saying they would work great and that if I wanted to pay more he'd me happy to sell me IDs!
Needless to say, my car runs great!

There's absolutely nothing bad about going with ID stuff...if you have the money for it, they're very good injectors, and the matched sets are nice on a high strung setup...but there's also a LOT of other injectors that can move a lot of fuel reliably.

I just bought my injectors for my TVS 2300 cause I bought the tuner kit.
In the end I went with the id850 injectors cause of 3 reasons,
There suppose to be the best because of the flow data where others don't have that. Second was cause my tuner recommended them but also said he had no problem using the FAST ones as well.
And third and finally the most important reason I went with them is because I got an unbelievable deal from a vendor and you can't get them for the price I paid...
Actually I think the vendor got in trouble and was forced to take down the ad
