Injector air bleeds

I did a search and only came up with vac diagrams.

Just wondering if the injector air bleeds not being hooked up matters. I've had them plugged for quite a while without any issues, but if they are helpful I can easily get them hooked up properly.

Thanks.

My buddy capped his off and it runs fine, my other buddy hooked them up to air and it runs fine.

The only thing we ever came up with is, its supposed to help so why not?

Yea, I am probably going to hook them up anyways. I just wanted to know what benefit they had, whether it be better fuel atomization, or gas mileage, or power, etc etc.

Well I found this Patent article on them.

in such a fuel injection type engine, problems have been encountered in that, under a light load operation in which the throttle valve is in the minimum or small openingposition, the intake air flow speed is so small that an adequate atomization of fuel cannot be accomplished. It has therefore been proposed to provide the fuel injection valve with an air bleed device for blowing bleed air into the fuel discharged fromthe fuel injection valve to thereby promote atomization of the fuel.

Better fuel atomization at low rpm's.
