I believe my setup is the best pump system available for drag racing. It is lightweight, low amp draw, high pressure, high volume, able to be controlled by 12v DC speed controllers, progressive PWM, or a simple Hobbs/relay. If it won't produce the volume I need at pressure, I can always go to a more bulky motor that will double the current volume. I've been wrong before though. I couldn't honestly tell you the actual water needed for say 1000hp, 1500hp, 2000hp, etc.
I can tell you there doesn't seem to be any consistency in what people claim to be running. I hope to some day put this one to bed with actual figures.
Here is one of my early tests while i was messing with different nozzles. Big nozzles have massive penetration compared to smaller ones.

Atomization testing. You can see how easily influenced the flow path is at the intersection when the droplet has so much more atomization.

Here is a negative to see swirl/droplet density
