The Lucas disc-type injectors reportedly have a faster response time and therefore could perform better at idle and low engine load (narrow pulse width) than the slower pintle-type injectors. There should be no difference at WOT.

The SVO Ford injectors are rated at 45psi and when running them at our pressure of 58psi they become 47/48 pounders. I run these on my car.
