What is the horsepower rating for 320 Ib/hr injectors on a boosted and little bit of nitrous?

What is the horsepower rating for 320 Ib/hr injectors
ONE 320 lb/hr injector should be good for a bit over 500 HP, on pump gas, normal compression, yaddayaddayadda. Maybe 550. Would be almost exactly equivalent to 8 40 lb/hr ones. Wouldn't particularly matter whether a turbo or nitrous is involved. Power comes from burning fuel molecules, so if you put 320 lbs/hr of fuel molecules into a motor and burn it all and achieve typical heat —> work conversion on it, which is roughly 30 - 35% in anything resembling ANY production automotive engine, it'll make 320 lbs/hr of HP, no matter how you get the oxygen to it to combine with it.

Never seen any such thing though. I'm having a hard time imagining it. Seems as though it would be alot like the spray end on a garden hose. Care to elaborate?

.....unless he meant that as the flow rating for an entire set... OR he slipped an erroneous zero on a 32# injector......
Can't fathom 320# injectors, unless it's a big pressure washer nozzle.... LOL

Maybe he's got a boosted pressure washer, since when I asked him "on a boosted..... what?" I got answered by another question. .


top tip: when you ask a question here, be specific. Tell us way more information that you think you need to. You'll get better answers and help people understand what you're asking.

But here's something I forgot to mention is I'm going to use Bosch 210's on 101.5 psi fuel pressure which ups them to 320 Ib/Hr.

thats almost equivalent to what i found on fuel tech, but at 90psi. Flow is flow, the injectors will support up X amount of hp depending on your set up. Now, how long those Boschs last, i dont know, but that wasnt your question. Fueltech's calculator shows that at 90% duty cycle, 8 320lb injectors will support ~3900HP with a turbo

OK, Yoji, just for entertainment's sake let's say you ARE actually using 320# injectors that will support 3900HP.
How much power are you actually dealing with here? What is the setup?

And just what size rubber DO you wear, anyway? Don't have to ask what you're doing when you wear it; no human female would participate in that, that's for sure.

So you're spec'ing injectors with 3 x needed capacity. The BIG question is.... WHY??

101 PSI fuel pressure !

The operating pressure for the LS3 / LS7 is 58 PSI.

What ECU are you going to be using that will allow you to tune the engine while using 101 PSI of fuel pressure?

And, I have never heard of anyone using an injector capable of 320 Lb/Hr flow on an LS based engine.

Where did you get this idea from anyway ?
