If I understood your question correctly, it was "what is the electrical
power consumption for a 5.8 liter/hr fuel consumption 2 cylinder at
8000?" 
I'm not the right guy to ask. My system uses a fuel pump from a 302 ford
V8. The regulated pressure is about 35 psi - so there is a large flow in
the return line and much wasted power. The electronics uses almost
nothing (CMOS 8051 processor - 100 mA or so) and the injectors have a
2.5 ohm resistance but a fairly low duty cycle (but my red line is 6500
- so I can't speak to 8000). The only continuous draw is the pump -
which has a DC resistance of 12 Ohms, so it draws about 1A, or 12 watts.
