427's chime in please???
I'm running the Ford SVO race injectors now, suppose to flow as much as GM's 36's. So what are you guys running and do I need to step up since they are the same flow. I'm thinking of going hydraulic, but would there need to be a change if I stayed solid? Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks

Here's the formula for calculating injector size:
Expected flywheel horsepower multiplied by .5, divided by the number of cylinders, multiplied by 1.1
Example 400hp x .5 = 200
200 / 8 = 25
25 x 1.1 = 27.5 or 30 lb per hour injector
BTW I talked to ERL this morning and they said my block should be done by the end of the week and if it is I'll be going up next Wednesday so I can drop your block off then
