ID1000 cost
Totally freaked out about ID1000 prices I'm seeing but decided to go with them anyway. Read just about every post about them and not trying to start yet another debate among cheerleaders for any company.
End result, I'm buying them, just don't want to pay $920 for a set if possible. Fully understand different dealer prices and markups and forums aren't the place to openly discuss prices so please send a PM on who has the best price for these and what's considered a "good " price.
I really appreciate any response....
Thanks

No debate from me, yes that are pricey, and no, I don't have them (don't have enough engine to nee them), but you see what you like and it has the performance characteristic that you are looking for, why not do it.
Price sounds fair.

You pay for the peace of mind and for the fact that you can always contact them to get a matching single if you ever need to. Speed Academy (youtube) was given a tour of their facility and it was pretty great to see that they keep the characteristics for every injector that's ever passed their QA.
If you buy new get them from DSX, or get used ones like Unreal said.

Even at full price their support is worth it. They publish all of the the fuel specs right on their site along with excel books that will actually build some of your injector tables for you. Your tuner will thank you.
Can't say the same for some of the other vendors.

Only 850s are available in the "short" version, the same size as the stock LS3 injectors, so I need to raise the fuel rails by 14mm since going with the 1000s. Also have to change the connector since it's different...both are easy mods.

ID850s should support 700 on gas, not E85, but I would go with ID1000s since they are the same price and you'll have that safety margin. Most injector companies have poor dynamic range where low flow conditions needed for idle and low RMP suffer because of upper end capabilities but from what I understand the 850s and 1000s flow the same on the low end. Fine, consistent spray at low delivery = good driveability and east tuning.
