300hp with 4 380cc injectors at 80% duty cycle? Uh... wouldn't that require a brake specific fuel consumption of less than 0.4?
4 injectors * 380 cc/min / 10.5 lb-min/cc-hr * 0.80 duty cycle / 300 hp = 0.38 lb/hp/hr
I thought very few engines could even approach that kind of BSFC, and in particular most turbocharged engines were closer to 0.60 lb/hp/hr.
But the guys at RC Engineering should know what they're talking about... what am I missing?
