no matter what setup you have, it all comes down to BSFC...
0.6 lb/hr/HP, no way around it. I use .6 as a safe guess.
600 RWHP is a rough 650 FWHP lets say. 650*.6/8 = 48.75 lb/hr on each injector, 100% duty cycle. even at 4 bar the svo 42's are 49 lb/hr. on the edge
get 50's or a converter and some lo-Z injectors </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">or run additional alky(ethanol) at a .92bsfc at a volume needed for 125hp and Gasoline at .52bsfc with the current 42.5lbers at 53psi under no boost.
I figure this is good to a cool 850 Flwhp with a larger window of error on the tune as alky is not so finicky.
Just another way to tune a fish <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Lets make a streetable 346ci forced induction setup. Actually, I think the Lingenfelter Magnacharger may be a tight fit, but I don't think the cowl may be in the way. Take a look at the picture in their catalog that they have: Magnacharger. I just sent them a message about it because I'm very interested in either that setup or a D1SC. I'll have to see what they say about it.

Re: Lets make a streetable 346ci forced induction setup. Just got the shortest response to a e-mail I've ever sent.
Here's what I sent:
"I was curious if any work was being done to offer the Magnacharger for the F-Body platform. I know the platform is on its way out, but would be interested in any plans that you have for offering it. Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Steve"
Here's the response:
"Steve,
Thank you for you interest in LPE and our engine packages. At this time we are not offering any supercharger packages for the F-body.
Thank you,
Tim Dyer"
I guess they aren't really interested in informing customers. The response really doesn't even address the question. I didn't ask if they were offering, but if they were ever going to consider offering one. Oh well, I should take the Eaton off the GTP and try the fit out myself!!

Re: Lets make a streetable 346ci forced induction setup. LPE is like that. Try giving DRM/Doug Rippie a call. Ask them what would be different for an F-Bod install.
They are installing these kits too.
