Why not wait and buy them all at once to save on shipping?

Had to break the payments in half so it looked better to the old lady. She don't know I need the other 4 yet, LOL.

I looked at the website and noticed that the 42#s are the same price as the 37#s. I don't expect I would ever need the 42's unless I transformed my car into a top fuel dragster, but would there be any advantage in 42's for a 380-430 rwhp car?

When you say 37lb. injector for 450hp,is that flywheel or rear wheel? What injector for 420-30fwhp/350-60rwhp?

bsfc .5
duty .8
pressure 43.5psi
The calc says to add in crank hp or BHP? Isnt that the actual motor hp,which in my case 420crank hp.
Then the calc. gives me 33lb injectors
Which is right?
Unless I am completely clueless it seems the calculator wants the crank/bhp with NO drivetrain loss subtracted from the crank hp before for the calculation??
Also, Is there any things one can do to a motor that can change the BSFC requirments?
I used .50 The motor has ported/polished heads slightly higher compression??
Thanks,

The FWHP # does not factor in parasitic losses on the motor for such things as water pump, alternator etc. in order to net the FWHP #.
Other things which have to be factored in are the AE / async fueling as well as temperature trims for coolant and air which can add as much as 15-20% to compensate / protect a heat soaked or ultra cold motor.
Wetting of the intake tract nets some fuel loss. Heated / aerated fuel.
Fuel pressure dips etc.
