Fuel Pump

I am posting this here because I cant get any replies in the TPI board.

What would be the best gph and psi for a 325-350hp 355 with TPI?

thanks ahead of time

CK,

Most of us are accustomed to rating injectors in pounds of fuel per hour delivery, not gallons. A moderate 355 should require about 24 pounds of fuel per hour at maximum output of 350 HP. That would be in the area of 3.65G/H, or 230cc/M. You should be able to accomplish this with either 22 lb/H injectors at a higher pressure or 24lb/H injectors at standard pressure of about 43 PSIG.

I presume you are asking about RWHP, or an equivalent BHP of around 400.
