Extrude Honed IDI injectors

[tgatch]

I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with extrude honed IDI injectors. What I want to know is the following:

Did you gain any power? If so how much of a gain?
Did it help or hurt fuel economy?
Was it worth it?
Would you do it again on an IDI injector?

Thanks for any input on this...

ive only thought of the idea but i could never get anybody on the phone over there but then i found dps stage 1s and tryed to get them here that fell through and now im thinking of trying them again to see what they can do for us

I had researched that and from what I understand about our injectors is that there is a different setup that would not work well with the extrude hone process.

Our injectors are alot like a needle and seat on a carb. There is no small ports to have to hone out so the seat area would perhaps be reshaped and seal poorly I am not sure.

It is something to think about for the intake, heads and exhaust manifolds though!

That's kind of what I was thinking too. Technically this isn't a 6.9 or a 7.3. But I figured if it had been tried one of you guys would know..
