My math was off a little plus I took into consideration that my Aeromotive fuel pump is capable of 140 gph @ 14PSI. So I figure that for each psi the pump generates 10 gph. My carbs work most effeciently at 5-to-5.5 psi therefore I assumed at my carbs I should be getting 50-55 gph at WOT.

So, if we substitute the correct weight of fuel then 225 hp divided by 6.25 lbs per gal then my fuel requirement is 36 gph.

A dragstrip around here is 1/4 mile.

Thanks for the exact measurements, I was merely guestimating the weight of fuel, I think we use to call it a S.W.A.G.. I've slept since my last math or engineering class.

Thanks,

Given this formula does that mean that a Red Holley (97 gph at 7 psi) is only capable of managing a 303 hp engine?
