There’s a rather straightforward formula that exists regarding mega horsepower racing engines: in order to make a lot of power, you’re first going to have to find a way to supply a whole lot of fuel. Veteran drag racer and turbo wiz Mike Moran, who forever holds the title of the first turbocharged doorslammer into the five second zone, knows this fact as well as anyone. And as you’ll see in the video below, Mike and the crew at Moran Racing Engines in Michigan illustrate this quite well.

Moran and company are ever the innovators in big power drag racing applications, and what you see here is their latest and greatest creation: a new CNC machined intake manifold design that incorporates dual injector bosses in a canted layout for use on engines with extreme fuel requirements where a single fuel injector per cylinder just won’t cut the mustard. On display in this video are a set of Moran’s own 600lb/hr fuel injectors multiplied by two per cylinder, meaning there’s a whopping 1,200lb/hr of fuel being dumped into each cylinder at full steam. That’s 9,600lb/hr amongst all eight cylinder. If you’re like us, you’re probably thinking this combination might give your shower head a run for it’s money, and you just might be able to wash the car and water the lawn with it. Impressive to say the least.

Aside from the awe inspiring amount of fuel being moved by the innovative Moran setup, this video is also particularly interesting in that you can visually gain an idea of what goes on inside the combustion chambers of one of these engines. Actual engine operation is simulated with this intake manifold and fuel system as it goes from the relative mist of an idle to the virtual Niagara Falls of the pedal being slammed to the floor and the fuel rushing in at an incredible rate.
