how big of a dry shot? ok......I would like to do a dry shot on my motor (stock 01 short block). I have 36lb SVOs (calculated to flow 47lbs at my 66psi fuel pressure). How bid can I go (50, 100, 150)?
I am making ~400 rwhp now. If I put a 200 shot (not going that big but just for MAX injector flow here), that would be 600rwhp and require 47lb injectors (staying under the 80% duity cycle.).
Horsepower X BSFC = Fuel Required (600rwhp X .5 = 300 lbs/hr)
Fuel Required / number of injectors = Injector Capacity (300lbs/hr / 8 =37.5 lbs.hr)
Injector Capacity /Duty Cycle = Injector Size (37.5lb/hr / .80DC = 46.87 lbs/hr)
I "seems" I could run a 200 and still be able to "fuel" it. In the REAL WORLD though, is it possible?
