F1A on order

Finally got around to ordering my F1A for my engine combo listed below. I'm as giddy as a school girl. Who wants to take horseopwer estimates? Right now my 255lph pump is holding me back but I have plans to get a new tank and sump it, run the stock 255lph pump AND an external pump that Y into a -8 line to feed the engine then the real fun begins.

Re: F1A on order

I would have to mess with extra lines coming out of that already cramped pickup assembly.

Re: F1A on order

Re: F1A on order

With the 50#/hr injectors you are going to run out of fuel before dual Wal-bro or the A1000 pump will.

-8AN is a lot of fuel at port EFI pressure (43PSI).

50_pph*8_inj*.9_dc / .58_bsfc = 620 BHP
50_pph*8_inj*.9_dc / .55_bsfc = 655 BHP

Are you looking for new injectors to go with the new pump?

Re: F1A on order

The 50's should be good for now, 600ish horsepower. I can always increase the pressure if i need too..

Re: F1A on order

A Wal-bro 255LPH pump at the correct voltage will support 600 BHP. Why not just use that with the 50#/lb injectors. If you want more later, just do the pump and injectors at the same time.
