average litres fuel consumed during 1/4 mile!!

ok so i know the are lots of factors ! ive just been looking at the price of c16 fuel and im abit scared ! !
if im running a 350 sbc with twin 850 carbs any idea roughly how much fuel would be used inc burnout stage and run etc ?

Soz, I don't want to hi-jack this thread, but I have a related question,
the answer to which may help answer the first question - does anybody
have knowledge of how much fuel delivery is needed to support, say, 1000 HP?

Most pumps seem to be rated in GPM, (which I assume is US gallons), what
would the recommended min GPM be for 1000 HP on Petrol, motor only?

[wicked fish]

pumps for gasoline carbs 1000 hp are rated in GPH
pumps for alky and blowers are GPM,

youd do better asking your question on the tech section of drag-zone.net
theres a far bigger knowledge base there than there is here

Blown alky we use about 5 gallons from fire up, burnout, back up and run. Running alky is much easier blown than petrol and with the price of c16 it's a no brainer

I had a 454 with an 850 double pumper in a 69 Chevelle and it used 1 gallon per burnout/run drive back to the pits.
