I would like to know more about this 1 lpm per liter engine size thing.

Does that mean I need to produce 5.3 lpm to see a difference in my 5.3 GMC.

Or will i see a difference at 1.5 lpm.

Can anyone tell me???

1 LPM per litre of engine capacity is a rule of thumb that holds true for the majority of vehicles. Some vehicles need 2 LPM per litre of engine capacity to see decent gains.

My advice is to build as big a generator as you can, without over taxing your alternator, and see what results you get. Make sure you install and understand an EGT gauge before you do any electronic mods though.
