make sure it flows plenty around max torque rpm....

ash- if u could help-how are u working the maths out on that?
Thanks

it's worked on on lb's of fuel per horsepower , per hour comsumed by the engine , at a desired horsepower output..
it is directly related to bsfc, but in a measured way, as per flow bench reading, or dyno/ drag race flow meter logged data.
it uses specific gravity of the methanol, at a particular temperature.( fuel changes its specific gravity as it gets hotter or colder..)
turbos tend to use less fuel than roots blower engines , for shown flywheel hp.
therefore have slightly better bsfc....
and
lower fuel comsumption ( lb's of fuel / hp / hour...)
it is easier to measure fuel and air in the same measure ( lb's in this case)
as air / fuel ratio is calculated in same measure ( eg. 11: 1 is 11 parts air , to 1 part fuel.)
the result , 11.4 gal / min , is calculated via results and data learned from methanol twin turbo engines dynoed , and data logger figures from drag strip., and then using the cubes and desired hp required...
lol
hope thats clear
ash
Prob over 3000hp...
