FW: Whipple (AutoRotor) Compressor

[Atkinson, David]

That was a quick estimate - I still need to do the
math...  I'm assuming a BSFC of 0.55 for a
blown motor running 92 octane gas - is this a
reasonable assumption?  Also, is a max duty
cycle (for the injectors) of 90% reasonable or
will the injectors cease to operate linearly at
that high a duty cycle?  Should I shoot for around
80% and give myself some room?  I don't want
to have problems at idle because my injectors
are too large...

Guess not ;-)
But, you think the 50# inj will be big enough?
Remember, you'll have to run richer under boost.
