Chevy wedge on nitro: How much pump for ONE 44 amp mag?

Assuming I'm running ONE 44 amp MSD, what is the maximum size pump I can run (max. gph) before the single mag will no longer light it?

Remember, this is a single plug, single mag Chevy wedge.

Thanks.

 

I think the more important question you need to ask is what percentage of fuel you're gonna run

96.

Does that help you to answer my question?

Thanks.

 

les... love the name. check your pm's

 

i've seen cars run 6.0's with no mag at all.
if you want some advise you need to come clean.
what are you trying to do? no offence, but you are playing with dynomite!
i'd be more than willing to help you.....just to save a life or two.

 

Les, a notable figure is Brendan Murry, in San Jose, Ca., runs a BBC in nostalgia T/F, and has a website and current means to contact, via his website www.racecarparts.com, very knowledgeable, and can help you thru your...teething problems, along with many others here...but, give Brendan a call.

 

let us know what happens.....don't mean to be a dick. but with nitro, IT'S SAFTY FIRST!
give some details!
we would all be willing to help you out!

 

this is sooo true.... the fuel deal ain't for the faint of heart (or wallet)

but damn it's fun

ps... murry is the king! and a helluva of a good guy

 

Altered,
You running the AJ billet heads? If not which ones do you run and how many passes do you get on them?

I believe the NFC guys run around 18 gallon pumps with their 44 mags

Thanks,
Keith

 

Keith... we run the thing with iron dart heads and a gm iron block. so far so good. try to keep it a budget deal and run it way old school... just going by what i know about my hot rod 18gal sounds about right... sean

 

Nitro and bowties have never been good working partners or good playmates. Just ask Bill Kuhlman. If you're currently running nitro in one and have had no problems... be happy with that tune-up and don't get stupidly over zealous. Don't push your luck.... especially with a cast block and cast heads!

 

theres a great group of guys in mich,.... wally is the owner/ tuners name ( i don't know his last name) the cars name is the blue meanie ... sbc injected on fuel i think still all iron with a pg... ran 6.90's front motor dragster,... he's tight with the kinsler fuel injection dudes... find him and he'll hook u up....Mike
