    Here are my engine specs.:

    Factory Cleveland block(I'm stuck at 750HP). Limiting rpm to 6500.
    A.F.D.heads from Austrailia. Model SP4VR. Race head. Flows 360/250+@.800.
    Custom spec. Comp. cams solid roller. 260/270@.050. .728/.728 lift. 114 LSA
    All forged internals. Compression 9.8:1.
    Excellent custom exhaust. Long tubes into collector. 3.5" through race bullets.

    BDS catalog states that a large helix 6-71with a 8mm drive and 46/54 pullies is 17.4+ OD. Their chart states on a large helix 6-71@427c.i. the boost should be @16lbs.

    Enderle injection. 70 main. .050 nozzles. 80A-1R pump per Enderle. Just flowed. 6.9GPM@4000. I estimated 5.625GPM@3250 for 6500 crank rpm.

    5.6 GPM is approx. 336GPH. Methanol weighs approx. 6.6 lbs/gal. So, my pump will flow roughly 2200 lbs/hr. 336GPH=2217lbs/hr.

    Is this pump large enough for my app.? Enderle says yes. Some tuners say yes, some say not quite. I'm confused. Don't want to hurt any parts next month and am new to the blown alcohol game.

    HELP!

    Thanks,

    Frank

    let me be the first

    If this is a borrowed or "basic" tune from enderle, don't bother using it. You will find on this site most will tell you to buy a tuned system from a good source. I personally deal with Spud Miller at FEI. Short version is you will waste time and money just winging it with anything else. To many variables to workout on a forum. My tune was on target right out the box, first pass. Saved a bunch on wasted passes, plus could tune for changes like I knew something.
