Better air uses more fuel. Heavier cars have more load and use more fuel. Every combination is going to be different.
Read the plugs... If they still have the cad on them up to the first thread, yeah, you're using too much fuel and could be making more power. If it's a bracket car and it's deadly consistent, who gives a shit how much fuel it uses.
We used 6 gallons of alky in an 1/8th mile pass last night... 10:1 568 blower motor. Is that too much?

6 gal. in a 1/8 mile pass? Holy crap. Have you checked the oil today? I agree every car is different but WOW! I'm at 2975 w/me in it, terminator inj. and using 2 3/4 gal.per pass on the 1/4. 2 1/2 gal. in the 1/8. Yet I'm barely lean.
Here's a question, I'm leaked down at 25% and barely lean. Which way do I go with leakdown to make it slightly fatter or can I do that?

I run pump gas and can make 7 or 8 1/8 mile passes on 5 gallons,driving to and from my parking spot Take that to the bank(literally $$$$) you bunch of alcoholics!! :lol: :lol: Nah,just picking on ya'll.My bud,Tommy,has an alky injected blown FED with a 468 BBC.Had some trouble with the tune,but got it now.We do a warm up that takes about 1 minute,pulled to the line ,1/4 mile pass and pull back to the pit takes 1.5-1.75 gallons.Plugs are borderline lean,but oil does get alot(IMO) of fuel in it.I know thats a light car,1700 w/driver,but that's not much fuel,I don't think.But then,I am a pump gas man
