Default Injector sizing??

What size injector is needed for a 750+ HP supercharged 427?

As always, thanks in advance.

"Get away" tells me we can assume 60s are on the very minimum? What is a better choice? I hope that 800 hp is not out of the question.

Thanks

60lb/min with a good fuel pump will take you thru 750rwhp no problem. With a 1:1 pressure regulator it will take you much higher than that and if you toss alky on it 1000 is not out of the question. With a rating of 60 at 43.5psi at our pressure they are 72 lb/min. 72 lb/min at a BSFC of .55 will make support 1000 flywheel hp

I run the 60s in my car with a stock filter/regulator (which creates a pressure drop) and have no issues to 800 but they are pegged. Time to change to a referance system.
Now, one caveot is the power loss from the S/C vs the turbos. You will lose 50-75 rwhp in capacity depending on the SC and pullys
