from GDH - Imperial gallon I would think.
Important distinction. The US gallon is 20% smaller than the Imperial gallon so he would be 19 mpUSG.

CHP took allot of heat over that article, HSAB of the size as describes in that article will not work. The primary circuit will more than likely not even flow fuel.

Did they acknowledge this in a later article and amend? Other than this I learned a lot about tuning a Demon carb which is one that I have always thought about.

They did, it was posted on the Innovate web site. I'd have to try and find it again. With a change in HSAB of that amount the mains will lean out drastically with RPM along with other issues if they would even flow fuel. Neal
