svo injectors vs other brands?
svo injectors vs other brands? Ok I have a cammed and bolt on LT1 and I am looking to step up the injectors to a larger size. The cam is a beefed up CC503 (Bre custom cam) and I was looking for a thread on what would be my best options, however I can't seem to find one. I've heard that Ford SVO injectors are the best, but FORD? What? lol, if that's so it's ok with me. I am just curious on what size and what brand you guys recommend. Thanks.
The SVO red top 30#'s flow @ 36 in our cars due to the fuel pressure, I know that size injector is more than enough for a 503 stock headed car. I am assuming that the durations are nearly Identical to the 503 and the lift is increased if it is a BRE cam.
If you are staying NA I suggest the 30's, if you plan to spray or upgrade in the future get the 36ers and with either get the tune so you don't wash out your cylinders.

SVO's are great. No need to run more than 30#'s on a cam-only car, I once ran 24#'s just fine with my cam-only cc503 setup. Bryan at PCMforless said 30#'s are fine even for my current setup (LE2 Heads/Cam/Intake etc.) They are actually ~32#'s on LT1 fuel pressures. Wouldn't hurt to go 36#'s if more extensive mods are in the future.

Actually they are still 30's in our cars (same 43.5 psi that ford uses) They are 36'ers in lsx vehicles (58ish psi )

Verdad Gallardo [QUOTE=LT1_Fireman;11233410] Ford uses 39.0 psi which makes their 30#'s ~32#'s in the LT1's.

once again wrong ^ 30's will be just fine for a cam only car, now if ur spraying then the 36ers would be more sufficient...until then just run the 30's

I suggested 36#ers, because if the OP ever choose to do heads they leave you room for improvement. They won't hurt at all in the meantime. Being that they are the same price as 30# injectors, I considered it to be a viable alternative.And I'm sorry that you feel as though you're little poke at me is justified because you didn't like the rear seat delete comment.

What's this "once again, wrong" crap? I suggested 36#ers, because if the OP ever choose to do heads they leave you room for improvement. They won't hurt at all in the meantime. Being that they are the same price as 30# injectors, I considered it to be a viable alternative.

People have been using the SVO brand injectors for years, back in the late 90s, you didn't really have a ton of choices like you do now. If using some of the newer Ford stuff, verify the factory fuel pressure for the vehicle they are from. You also have several online calculators, going a tad bigger isn't a bad idea if you know future mods are in store.
Some ford vehicles do use 39psi fuel pressure, but that does not mean the injectors used were rated at the non-standard 39psi. When flowbenched they flow closer to their rating at standard 43.5psi then they do at fords 39.
