Lucas Injectors?

I've done a few searches, here and abroad, and I'm gettng conflicting info on these Lucas injectors. So whats the deal, do they suck? One guys complained of tuning problems, others said they worked fine. The company that sells them of course toots about their disk design and all stainless steel construction. I know the import crowd runs them alot, thats half the reason why I'm conserned about them. They seem to buy whatever sounds the best. Only other info I found on them is that lucas is owed by delphi.

Some injector aren't very linear at the short pulse widths, so those that are clueless, say they're just bad juju. And depending on the ecm in use it might be limited in what they can tune to correct for the **non-linearity**. FWIW, no injector is really linear at the really short pulse widths.

Disc, Pintle, yada, yada, they're all just a solenoid.
