INJECTORS: Pintle vs Ball / Disc style - Pros/Cons?
This wasnt getting too much attention and thus I made this one...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Peak and hold injectors are fired at 4 to 6 Amps, through a ballast resistor, and then fold back to 1 - 2 Amps for the duration of the injection event. They are also known as "fold back" Injectors. Peak and hold injectors are faster responding than Saturated injectors by as much as 1 to 1.5 Ms. They are activated with more power at opening than the saturated types (4-6 Amps vs. .75 -1 Amp.). Peak and hold injectors will maintain injection delivery, cycle to cycle, continuity more accurately than the saturated type. This is particularly true and even more important in high-pressure (75 - 100+ PSI) systems. The higher Hydrostatic loading at excitation requires more amperage to initially activate the injector solenoid and properly maintain complete opening. Peak and hold systems are more expensive to manufacture because they require one computer "injector driver" per injector in most applications. This is a design requirement in Sequential Fire Systems where each injector is fired at a very precise, pre determined, time in the 720 degree 4 stroke processes. P&H injectors are also wound with copper wire instead of brass wire. </TD></TR></TABLE>
What do you guys think? Is what he saying biased or true?

Pretty true. Also, peak and hold (lucas disc type) injectors don't seem to flutter the spray pattern even when duty cycle is pushed to 90%-95%.
Only drawback, as explained before, is cost of peak and hold injectors versus Saturated type injectors.
Hope this helps...

what is the cost difference? Is it that big?

peak and hold roughly cost the around 285.00 a set for most injectors in the range from 550cc to 1000cc saturated roughly stop at a range of 580cc which cost around 265.00 a set there is not much difference in price.
