suggest you use RWHP for such a calculation. FWHP is the correct number.

if i were you i would go with 80lbs.

I thought i could get away with 60's but ended up going to 80's after I watched my duty cycles on the 60's

but you need to give some details so we can help you out

what size motor?how much boost?methanol?etc.

60s should be good to 1000fwhp with a boost reference regulator I believe unless I messed up with the calculator. Meth will help carry some of the load also.

grab some siemens 63# injectors OR if you wanna check out Injector Dynamics injectors feel free. I'm running their ID725 injectors, which equates to 69# @ 43.5psi ; 79# @ 58psi

PLENTY of fuel for whatever I throw at it. Great guy(s) that designed the injectors & tested them, all flow data, and nice customer service.

60s will hold you over for awhile. You will have to redo your fuel system before those 60s top out for sure.

dual walbros for sure, a single walbro wont even carry 60s to their limit let alone 80s.
