I think that works out to 290liters per hour.And 80gph is 480 pounds of gasoline, per hour. Can you run a tank on that?
IDK, but at .5 pound per horsepower per hour, a 440hp engine only needs 220pounds/ hour,3.67 pounds per minute,.061 pound per second or .733 pound for a 12 second quarter mile, which works out to
15.6ounces, or a half a qt..
Per mile that would be 62oz/1.9 quarts/.484gallon......... per mile. Ergo 2.06mpg.
But the pump is spec'd for double that and change.
So any old pump that puts out 15.6oz in 12 seconds, is theoretically capable to feed 440 horsepower down the the quarter, allbeit with no reserve. Hang on the 4150 stores about 50cc in each bowl, or 1.7oz. If 80% of that is useable at speed, that's 2.7 ounces less, that the pump actually HAS to put out... so say 13 oz.
BTW; 15.6 oz/1.7 = 10.77 bowlfuls in the 12 second quarter........ and you start preloaded with 2 bowlfuls.
I think the math is good,lol.
