Is 20 gallons per hour going to keep up with the 200-250 horsepower n/a build I'm planning?
I'll be running quad motorcycle carbs on that setup.

20 gallons per hour means you would burn through an entire tank of gas in less then an hour. I don't think you are going to be using that much gas. remember too you are not going to produce that much power all the time unless you are running somewhere like Daytona. car engines only produce their rated power in short bursts.Originally Posted by turabaka

if you were running 200 horsepower at maximun output constantly for one hour,such as on a dyno, the recommended fuel pump output is 22.89 gph, pretty close, and thats running flat out. remember too in a car once you accelerate and overcome inertia, you start to use a lot less fuel, it takes far less power to maintain a set speed then to accelerate to it.
If your using aftermarket carbs you might have to upgrade the size of your lines to help with the volume.

It's all 3/8th inch line now. Upgraded it when I did the pump.
