  Divide by 10 maybe?  Late eighties vettes used 24lb/hr injectors to make ~250 
  hp.  Just how big would a 300lb/hr injector be?  And what kind of pump could 
  keep up with that?...

  No, divide by two. I assumed it was pretty obvious that I'm referring to total 
  fuel flow, which gives a general result that is useful for engines with any 
  number of cylinders, not just 8. For individual injector size just divide by 
  the number of cylinders. In my case I have 50 lb'ers X 6 for the 300 lb/hr I 
  quoted in the example. Apologies for any confusion.
