220K miles, I think it's time for injectors!

My early 04 has just been a magnificent truck. I love it like my old hound dogs but it is starting to idle a little rough. I am pretty much convinced on going with Don M on getting my sticks updated but would like some opinions.

I mostly run the highways around the Rocky Mountains in my sales job. On the hours vs. miles trick, I am consistently one of the fastest trucks in the country, above 49 mph average. I do tow my 7000lb travel trailer several times a year usually less than a couple of hundred miles but it gets a little heavier on the 10,000 ft passes around Colorado. I am pretty happy with the available power my TST, and 62/12 phat shaft give me. 373 gears,
NV5600, 285 tires.

I am torn between the mileage max injectors and the F1's. I like power but really have all I need for what I do. Reliability, mileage, and certainly no loss in power are my main goals. EGT's are manageble with what I have at higher altitudes and would not want to fight having to watch it any closer than now. Which way should I go?

Also, what is the best way to get the injectors to Don and get them back as quickly as possible? This is my daily driver so I want it down as short a time as necessary.

Thanks guys.

I thought for the 03-04 trucks the flux 1's were the smallest injectors Don makes. Is this correct?

That is correct. Flux 1's are the smallest.

I don't understand: Don has this on his website,

Flux Mileage Max 20 HP $1100.00 20 HP gain over a stock nozzle. The 03-04 Flux is a brand new custom piece that is sized smaller than a stock OEM nozzle. This decrease in size still adds 20 HP through tighter, less leaky tolerances, lighter internal pintles that waste less energy, and the smoothest internal surfaces compared to any nozzle made.

Are you saying the Mileage Max is not available for the early 04's?

Anyone running the Mileage Max sticks? How do you like them?

Yeah they are available, he has the mileage max but the HP bump is around the same as the Flux ones.
