So heres the idea.... I've got a 5.0 mustang stock block, alum heads cam headers and intake. Still running stock 19lb injectors. Problem is I need 24lb injectors to have the proper fuel for my HP levels. SO... I was thinking that instead of spending $300 on injectors and $300 on a MAF configured for those injectors I could slap on one of your basic universal kits and a WOT switch. I'd need a total flow of 24lbs of fuel delivered from the pump. SO I'm guessing since I'm using methanol I'd need around 28lbs of extra fuel? What nozzles size would you suggest for this? And will the pump keep up with the demand? Also do you think the alcohol will distribute equally to all cyl's? Thanks Last edited by forcefed86; 06-30-2007 at 05:18 PM. |

To figure flow on this and still be pretty accurate you use the weight of methanol 6.63 per gallon x 7GPH of nozzle divided # of pistons should = 5.80 + your current injector size = 24.8lbs injectors. Most moder cars intakes are designed to flow equal amounts of air to each cylinder. We would suggest you keep the nozzle as close to the TB as possible. |

Using 20,900 BTU/lb of gasoline, and the remainder of what you need(24lbs - 19lbs = 5lbs), it works out to about 2gph(1.86 or so), but that's per-cylinder. Roughly 15gph. Pretty sure the big dually diesel guys flow that much water. |
