    The more important factor is spray pattern. I have the good fortune of
    having my very own injector tester which reads the opening pressure of the
    injector and gives you a visual of the spray pattern itself and allows you
    to detemine whether there is any after-dribble (the old guys here know what
    I am talking about). If you have a known good injector to compare your
    suspect injectors with you have a benchmark to help you decide whether they
    need replaced or not. Since it is just the tip itself that is wanting
    replacement this is not as expensive as replacing the entire injector and
    holder.
