The final result is your desired fuel injector flow.


If you wanted to calculate a NA motor instead of your supercharged motor, you multiply by .5 in step 1 and for turbo, multiply by .625.
What if you are running E85, IE E85 takes 20% more to run then regular unleaded gas.

Umm, add "20%" to your end flow result. This formula is a guideline, not the be all end all; this is what it must be, type of thing. It is not my formula (I think FAST uses it alot) however I used it to size up my projects and it was very helpful. There are a ton of variables that are not included (fuel temperature, fuel type etc.) that is why it is a guideline...and for a guideline, it isn't bad at all.

I also installed meth inj using washer fluid because its in my washer fluid reservoir and I dont want 100% meth spraying on my windshield. Just wondering if 44lb injectors may be big enough, I dont want to buy 60s if I dont have to and I dont have a wide band yet.
If you find that you need 60lb injectors let me know(PM) as I have Plug n' Play Multech II truck injectors.
