Stock injectors are 15 lbs/hr
Accel 17lb/hr injectors are common, and they flow 17lb/hr static.
If we ballpark a reasonable .5lb/hp*hr, that's enough fuel to make almost 200 flywheel horsepower without going static.

That guy bullshitted you to the extreme to try and make a sale.
Think about it. That would be 2 horsepower per cubic inch for basic bolt-ons and a mild cam. Is anybody else getting those numbers?

He said "Pushes close to 400 hp". What he didn't mention was he was using the Beretta to push a 1970 Corvette with an LT-1.

I guess I would ask to see a dyno sheet.

Anyone can seem to know what they are talking about.

I guess it depends what his definition of close is. If it was possible to get that kind of power out of a 2.8 or a 3.1 especially n/a, no one would be doing engine swaps.

AND if it is anywhere NEAR 400hp, you better not bolt it to a 125 Fiero trans rebuilt or not.

bumparoo!!!!!!
