(Projected BHP x .5) / 6.4 = min inject to meet the 80% rule
So lets say you have 400rwhp as suggested. We now need to convert this to crank hp (bhp). 400 plus 15% drive train lose equals 460bhp. Now lets add a 125 shot to that for a starting point of 525hp.
So.
525 x .5 = 262.5
262.5 / 6.4 = 41.01 min injector
Now you can punch in any figure you want. Also going over 80% really is not a concern when just a short 1/4 mile pass, as this is a wear/tear saver. Just stay away from going static or 100%. Hope this helps.

"Projected flywheel HP x .5) / 6.4 = min inj to meet 80% DC rule
So we first need to turn your projected hp into BHP. We just subtract 15% from your anticipated 385rwhp + 100rwhp shot = 485rwhp.
485 - 15% = 412.25bhp
412 x .5 = 206
206 / 6.4 = 32.18 injector to meet the 80% duty cycle rule.

In your first example, you are subtracting 15% from BHP and adding a full N2o shot, whereas in the second post you're subtracting 15% from the TOTAL.
I know, not much difference, just keeping you on your toes.

Also, how is the 6.4 figured? I'm going to put Beer's 28s in today and want to put the 150 shot back in. I know I'll be hitting the mid 90s (dc) again but I'm ok with it since I hardly ever run it for a full 1/4 mile. (I'm usually ahead by then and shut down, if not.. no reason to stay on it)

The 6.4 is a common denom for 8 cyl motors. Here's the full equation.
(bhp x bsfc) / (No. of Injectors x Duty Cycle .8) = injector
bsfc is the break specific fuel consumption, .5 is normally used except blower/turbos use .6
You can also punch in any DC you like and figure things out from there.
