Compared cheap vs premium injectors on a 6.0 Powerstroke rebuild and the difference was real

I put a set of budget reman injectors from a local shop in my buddy's F-250 last month and it was rough, cold starts were awful and it was down on power. Swapped in a set of OEM Ford remans and it runs like a different truck, smoother idle and way more consistent fuel pressure. Has anyone else seen that much of a gap between cheap and quality injectors on these trucks or was I just unlucky?

Used to think paying extra for OEM injectors was just paying for the name but man was I wrong. Watched a buddy chase issues for weeks with cheap remans until he finally broke down and got Ford ones and it was night and day difference. The cheap ones just cant handle the high pressure these 6.0s need to run right.
