But at 10psi hp is lower say 300 at that point, so you only need 300ml/min. Injecting 570 at 10psi would be to much fluid and hp will drop some from combustion quench.
The variable controllers regulate the injection amount based on the load of the engine. This allows for maximum hp gains across the entire RPM band.
The controllers actually send a PWM signal out to the pump to regulate pressure. Min pressure is 60psi to get good atomization of the fluid out of the nozzle. As the engine load goes up, so does the signal to the pump to increase pressure. More pressure at the nozzle results in more flow.
Our controllers have been designed to account for the non-linear characteristics of the pump-pressure-flow dynamics. This provide the best possible injection curve for the controller resulting in flatter A/F curves, and easy tuning.
We keep our systems simple for wiring, install and tuning. The basic design is set and forget. Once it is set, forget about it and make the power you want without expensive race gas.

Sounds like a very nice progressive controller. I will be looking into your system more when It gets closer to install time.
thanks
