[s-cars] Alternatives to RS2 Injectors

[Robin Stoddard]

Not that I can support nor deny the numbers that have been thrown 
around, but my interest ended the moment you mentioned Lucas.  Don't 
walk, but run away from anything that has the Lucas name stamped on it.  
Personal experience 2 years ago when a Lucas injector failed on my 
fathers rebuilt 1978 Jag that caused an engine fire and the death of the 
car.
