Thanks MikeGyver, it makes sense as I actually read that.

DrX, I saw your crude hole in hood. Then your hood scoop. To what u have now. I read where u said u wanted a steel scoop made to restore the structural rigidity of the hood. I just wasn't sure if u tossed the old one or started w/. a fresh hood & added a new top. I'm still not.
But from your answer it sounds like u just added a top skin to the old bottom structure, right?

 

Stock hood is just a single layer with the reinforcing skeleton bonded to it. This is the original hood with just the custom scoop added. I cut out the minimum amount necessay for clearance as I added/changed things. DMK actually cut out quite a bit more following the outline of some of the remaining factory reinforcing to tidy it up before he welded the scoop on.

 

I like the fuel pump set-up but how long of a pull can you make before the remote tank runs dry?

 

Probably a couple of miles at WOT. Everything the engine doesn't use goes back in there.

 

You may have already done it, but an interesting calculation would be the capacity of the pumps at pressure vs the injector size and duty cycle you are now running at peak. Then take whats left and figure the difference over time

Or you could take it out on a long stretch of highway and find out.

 

Congrats on figuring out what to do with the hood! Looks fantastic!

 

1000hp for one hour is 500lbs of fuel consertivly.

500 lb 71.5 gallons @7 lbs. Per gal.

1.19 gallons a min.

I bet you run out of road before that tank runs dry. Lol

this is all just a guess.

 

That's roughly how I calculated it. I figured 2L(1/2gal) would be adequate for a 1/4 run, but it doesn't hurt to have a couple extra gallons in there.
