Same injector? If you have a low impedance injector, you don't want to
use a saturation driver. You can detect an electrical insulation
burning smell with full power on for as little as a second. If you have a
high impedance injector, it is designed for full voltage (or full
current). So... if you have low-z injectors, you need pnh drivers... if
you have high-z injectors, I don't see a need for not using a
saturation driver nor a performance difference if one is used.

Using a high-z injector with a higher source voltage (like 30-40V)
to give an initial current greater than 12V/Z_{injector}
may make a difference, but that would require a setup power
supply. Is that what you want to try?
