42lb injectors vs ?

Can Lucas 42 lb injectors be made to work on my mild N/A set-up?. I will be getting a blower later and did not want to buy injectors twice. How would they take a dry(5176) shot?

If they are low impedance they should be fine.

Steve: I think you meant high impedance...

Yep, high impedance, I think Rich was running 50#s last I heard

Anywho, someone did have 36# injectors on a pretty close to stock car and said they were too rich at low RPM? I haven't seen him here in awhile. Maybe with a cam that would not be a problem though, dunno. Honestly though if you were to buy used SVOs you can pretty much sell them for what you get them for. I sorta thought I heard the Lucas injectors were sub-part but verify that with Fred or someone who knows.

Here is his page, I forget his member name offhand though.
