Default How much?

Wondering...I have 38lb injectors (i think). That's what I was told when I bought them so that's what I'm sticking with. Anyways, those and a walboro 255 in tank. How much HP can be made with a procharged setup?

The equation is: Injector flow rate x Number of injectors x Injector Duty cycle (80% is ideal) divided by BSFC (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption approx .5 for NA, .6-.7 for boosted engines).

For Example: the data I used for my truck. 60 lb/hr x 8 x .80 divided by .65= roughly 590 hp (flywheel)

For yours, let say: 38 x 8 x .8 divided by .65= 374 HP, or not nearly enough injector for a Procharged truck.

Walbro 255 should be good for at least 500whp.
