882 HP would be 100% static flow correct? -20% to get to 80% duty cycle brings it 705 HP which would be closer
I was figuring 6.2 lbs/gallon. The 882 HP is based on our best guess at a BSFC and calculating fuel flow by taking Chrysler literally on their claim of emptying the tank in 13 minutes. 529 lb/hr would be actual fuel flow into the engine based on that claim. If that fuel flow number doesn't agree with the fuel flow you get by calculating on injector flow, I would think your number is more likely correct.
