There isn't one marine injector. You need to know the size before we can tell you the approximate rwhp gain.
The spray angle is different because marine engines use different pistons than our trucks. The pistons in a marine application have a wider bowl, hence the wider spray pattern. In our trucks, the wider spray angle cam actually make a bit more power, due to the fuel being spread out more, and burning better. This was the case in a 2nd Gen 12 Valve at least, but I'm sure the same principle applies to our trucks. The main disadvantage is smoke. With a marine injector, your truck will smoke more, but you can keep it under control.
If you keep your foot out of it, you shouldn't see much of a change in mileage at all, unless your injectors are in bad shape. If they are, you'll more than likely see an increase in mileage, as long as the marine injectors are set up right.

I havent seen a set of marine injectors yet for a 1st gen. They are for 2nd gens. They will work, if you dont mind pulling them apart and changing the body tops out. I have done it for my 92. I had pump problems, lost a bunch of power, swapped to the 370 marines and gained my power back, but my pump went out. I only had 500k on it though, so no big deal.

thats cool that they made some for the first gen. I didnt know. I looked for them for quite a while a couple years ago when I bought mine. I finally just decided to build my own. Its not hard to do them, but I am a diesel mechanic though so I have some experience with them. i have over 50k miles with them in my 2nd gen motor and havent had any issues. I was getting around 14 mpg with a 12k lb truck with 4.88 gears. Not too bad at all.

dang, hate to hear that noone makes them anymore. Seems like the 1st gen injectors are harder to find.
