Anyone have an SVO lock up??

I have switched to SVO's from stocker's. (still 24#'s) I have a 5176 NOS kit and wanted to know if anyone has had a problem with the SVO's ever locking up. Just want to be sure the FPSS and window switch will be enough to run the juice safely.

I had a stock injector lockup once. Switched to SVO's and it hasn't happened again.

when I was shopping injectors it was all the craze about the SVOs because they are supposed to be much less susceptable to lockup. I'm running the 24# svo with the TNT wet kit and have never had a problem other than running 100% duty cycles Time for the 30s

There's no real need for SVO's if you are running a wet kit. The reason they are recommended for the dry kits is because the FP is increased to ~80psi in stead of the stock 43psi. At the higher FP stockers tend to lock up while the SVO's usually don't.

24# SVO's are rated at 39psi so when tuning your car they should be set at about 26#'s to account for the diff in FP.

I've pushed SVO's over 100psi without problems.
