Default SVO vs Delphi injectors

Racetronix tries to market that you dont want SVO ford injectors in a ls1 because they match up to the same impedance and use a different tip/spray pattern.

Tons of people use them and im curious on if theres any validity to it or any advantage to the delphi style injectors (like more HP because a better spray pattern etc)

I'll wait to hear from some of ya before i order up some SVO 30's...

supposedly, delphi's have a longer service life, dont clogg as easy, and is a higher quality injector because of its disc style as oppose to the pintle style that the bosch (SVO) ones use. i think, like in any case, you get what pay for. hence the fords are usually cheaper.

I'm selling my SVO's because I bought the Delphi's. With the sale racetronix has on them now, you can get them cheaper than the SVO's unless of course you were buying the SVO's used.

Wow...guess im not too interested in the product...you guys dont know what you have to say about it. Nevermind..ill look elsewhere

*Racetronix website*
Performance advantages over pintle injectors (i.e. Ford / Bosch & Accel types) as listed by Delphi:

High-speed disc action allows wider dynamic flow range for improved idling
• Quieter operation
• Revolutionary disc design resists build up deposits which can affect fuel flow.
Coil Resistance: 16.2 Ohms / High Impedance / High-Z (No ECM driver modifications required)

Where did we draw a comparison to the spray pattern of a LS1 injector?
Where did we state that an SVO injector does not match up to the impedance of a LS1 injector?

We know exactly what we are distributing. You simply don't understand the information in our ad.
