what size injectors do I need for an LS2 that put down 550hp on the motor and around 470 to the wheels?

For that much power I would do a set of 42lb injectors. But if it's the motor I am thinking of it made low 400s to the tires and not 470.

originally ordered 30lb SVO's ... I guess we're going to cancel that and order bigger ones per nic's advice.

Default injectors

(500hp) x (0.5 lb/hp-hr) =250lbs a hr

so if you take the 250 divided by 8 number of cyclinder = 31.25 lb injector but you want to hava a sfety margine of at least 20% with that in mind you would be closer to a 38 or 39lbs injector, some more axamples

the 0.5 is bsfc number for a N/A motor (brake specific fuel comsumption)
also make sure when you order your injectors make sure you understand if they are rated at a 3bar or 4 bar which are cars are even if rated at 3 bar just make sure to rescale to 4 bar setup.

(600hp) X (0.5lb/hp -hr) = 300 .... so divide 300 divided by 8 (number of cyclinder) = 37.5lbs injector dont forget your safety margin of 20%

with all said I would say a set of 38lbs injectors at 3 bar scale them to a 4 bar setup and you will have plenty of injector for your setup.

This is the first time someone has explained anything to me that involves algebra and actually had it make sense.

So to simplify the equation

EHP (estimated hp) X .5 (for BSFC) / 8 = required injector size?

are you adding 20% to the initial HP number or the size of injector you need because on a 500HP model your final product = 37.5lb if you add it to the injector size where as if you add 20% to 500 it gives you the exact same answer nevermind forget that question I answered it as I was typing.

so the FINAL simplified equation would be

([EHP] [EHP x .2]) (.5) / 8 = IS *injector size*

where

the car will be an n2o application..

I'm surprised at 6am I was able to understand the math behind that and then a couple hours later repeat and explain it to someone else. And I could still tell you the formula without looking. Weird.
