I have DDP's in my 24v, they are good injectors. I have F1's in my 12v, and after running those, F1's will be the next set to go in my 24v. Excellent injectors.

Im runnins bosch 300's in mine now. They are OK. No problems to this date. However when the savings account gets back up I will go with DDP or a set or F1's. I have a buddy thats runnin a set of F1's and he loves them. I was pretty impressed very little smoke and they do a pretty good job of keeping your EGT's down compaired to some other cheaper brands, which would sell me

a lot of R & D has gone into development (spray angles, hole sizes ,and testing ) to get them where they are. If you buy a 90 hp set you will get a true 90HP or more with an HO engine F1s make more power lower egts ,less smoke,all around a quality part your not wasting $ my.02

Can't go wrong with F1 or DDP.

I have never run F1's, but lots swear by them.

I have run numerous sets of DDP's and they rock! I have absolutely no reason to try or run any other brand. They are smooth and give the number (HP) that they advertise.

PS - No one makes a 150 HP injector that doesn't smoke!

Why? I have only run F1 130hp injectors and with 60k miles on them they are still going strong. I bought a set of DDP 90hp sticks last year to lower my egt while towing, but I had to sell them before I installed them ($$).
I'm not trying to start a flaming war, I really want to know why they are better.

Well........... I'll just say that there are some folks that may be willing to explain but im not getting in it. I think there is some room for improvement in multiple ways. I've ran F1 sticks in multiple trucks over 6 years now. The original F1 Injector was and still is the best when it comes to VP Trucks. The problem DIDNT exist with the product until recently and more evident in the CP3 Crowd. The original problem existed in customer relations and the truthfulness regarding products! Something that has been a real problem in the performance diesel industry.

I will say I made 800+ on F1 Sticks (Mach 8's) , And in my opinion they were the cleanest smoothest big sticks I've ran yet. I will also say that I street drove the truck with minimal heat and only what I would call moderate smoke.

But in the same respect I will put my reputation on the line for DDP , in full confidence they produce the same if not higher quality product. Secondly, their more willing to conversate and deal directly with customers. AND NEVER one time have they ever placed blame on everyone except themselves.....For over 6 months.....With a customers truck down.....


And thats all I have to say about that!

I have no ties to either brand........ But if your going to come on here and say something like that, you should also be willing to explain your reasoning
