whos using Lucas injectors?

There pretty fair priced and Im looking at getting a set of 42lb for my TA. I'll be sitting around 465 NA here soon and 565 or so with a 100 shot. Just looking around for some injectors and was just told about them. Are they pretty good?

I've been using them for about 2 years now. So far so good. I'm at about 420 whp n/a, and I'm also spraying a dry shot on top of that.

To be honest I heard a lot of bad things about them.... things like inconsistent and difficult to tune, etc..... but you know how that goes.

Then a buddy who was in dire need grabbed a set on the cheap. Between beers, I used the injector spreadsheet that is floating around (sorry to not give author credit, I'm having a lapse) and Mightymouse and I had the car up and going with a pretty flawless transition in no time. The real time spent was the beer and debate

No issues at all.

Been using mine for a year N/A (438rwhp) with no problems whatsoever. Now they are on my 6.0L while I am breaking it in and still working great.

Looks like the Delphi's I put in.

Everyone pushed the SVO's and told me Delphi's were hard to tune. Swapped them out (got them from HSW), did the change in EFI Live per the spreadsheet, and they are working great. First time ever changing injectors or even messing with tuning software.
