does gary run his white turbo mustang lx in same class? Know he runs a 275/60/15 drag radial and well that car is a monster on the top end
I haven't seen it out there and don't know. All those Turbo cars are monster on the top end. Dave Bowman's turbo 4th gen Camaro went 5.027 @ 150.10mph. With that mile an hour it should be ET'ing quicker but its pretty tough to put all that power down on a 275 tire.
what size injector would you have to run to hold up to 4 dry stages?
Currently have 83lbs/hour injectors that are good enough for about 1300HP. That would be pretty much maxing them out to full duty cycle though. That would also allow me to use at least 2 stages and up to about 400HP and change of Nitrous. Most likely I will switch them out for some 160lbs/hour injectors when we put the new motor in. Anyone looking for some 83lbs/hour injectors??? LOL

I think the tuning would be alot easier if you could find something between 160 and the 83's.

Agreed. I threw the 160's out as an arbitrary number but as we get closer my tuner and I will discuss it further. Probably will use something closer in the 100-110lbs/hour. Usually a good rule of thumb for injector needs vs horsepower is the lbs/hour of the injector x 8cyl x 2= Horsepower Injectors can support.
IE, 83lbs/hr x 8 x 2= 1328HP
Of course you can play with the fuel pressure a bit to get a bit more but I would prefer going to a bigger injector.

I'm right there with ya.
We are looking at the same thing for next year.
