Oh,

If you happen to be using the 6 port and plan to use only 4 of the yellow injectors, they are only good for between 173 and 197 HP at 80% duty cycle and BSFC of .5.  You would have to use all 6 to realize that higher HP that they are supposed to make.

I am thinking that they are sized small in the car because they don’t expect you to be at WOT for long in the car and they will have a chance to cool down.  In our case they will be at WOT for hours and could overheat if they were at a high duty cycle.

Thoughts??

Bill,

I figure they ( yellow) would be fine and although at the higher end of the duty cycle, they would still be below 80% and better at lower RPM.

The figurers I put up previously showed 400cc would be more than enough, I think my figurers showed 760cc/2 being the higher end needs, but I would need to go over my figures again - could be borderline.
