Can someone tell me if these values are correct for 30lb SV0's on a C5?
Thanks.

If I understand your question, an SVO 30 LB injector will flow 34.6 LB if going from their original flow rating of 43.5 to 58 psi. I don't know what you are referring to with your statement, "Injector Rated Fuel Pressure 29". But there is some confusion on the SVO injectors, some claim they rate them at 39 psi but that is incorrect, they also rate their injectors at 43.5 psi. Hope this helps.

Are you trying to use the excel spreadsheet for calculating IFR values? I tried using that and it didn't make sense. I sort of got it to work but instead I used the ratio 28/36 and mutliplied my IFR table by that times 100. 128.5 to be exact. That got me close. I found that multiplying by greater than 100% gave less fuel and by less than 100% gave more. You will have to tweak it after you get in the ballpark.

I am trying to use the Excel calculator. Those lines are part of the calculation. I also have seen different values. It seems 36 and 58 come up as the right #s the most.
I have no idea what this is: Injector Rated Fuel Pressure 29.
I was hoping someone does.

I used 128.57 as the multiplier and found the the new IFR #'s using 29.5 in Excel are just about the same. I'd like to confirm the values I asked about since each one makes a difference in the result.
Thanks for the input.
