Not bad. I would have guessed spraying the balls off it would have been on the first page and your math checks out.

Why 488 and not a box 480?
Would there be a bunch of compressor surge with the 64/65/13?

This project may not make it between frame rails because it's currently destined for a test stand to prototype parts.
That does bring up a good point though. Right now the 12v gets 20.5mpg in the summer and drops to 18mpg in the winter. I think finding the right balance on injectors large enough to make a short injection event and small enough to idle without needing 8k rail will be key to MPG.
Next question- who here thinks a girdle is necessary for 1500tq?
