Fuel consumption

[thrashperformance]

Has anyone on here ever calculated about how many gallons or pounds per hour a 2.3 ford is consuming ehile racing?

[Browndog]

There is way too many variables to come up with a number for that. RPM, Gearing, compression ratio, head work, timing, carb, header, intake, I can keep going but it's a waste of time.

I run a 10 lap heat & 15 lap feature on a 1/4 mile dirt track with a mild built 2.3L and never have used more than 2 gallons a nite.

Also depends on what fuel your running. Im averaging 5g a night on e85.
