Actually cubes have nothing to do with it at all.
BSFC goes up with power, not cubic inch. It takes a certain amount of fuel to make a certain amount of power. This does change a little when talking the difference between N/A and forced induction because at max power an F.I. motor needs much more fuel added. They typically run at about 11.5:1 AFR versus 13.5 AFR that a N/A motor makes max power at.

Then you must also think you can feed a fat boy a single french fry and he'll be satified and full.

To me its a simple "supply and demand" calculation.
The bigger the boy, the more fries he needs to be full and satified.

I've also had good luck with Aeromotive, plus they're not noisy.

Oven cleaner, good tip!

I have the BG Enduro(can't remember which one is non efi)...I wouldn't get it again. The first one didn't work so I sent it back and the second works but is very noisy. Unfortunately, in my case the gas tank was made with the mounting brackets(and cover) for this pump so changing it out is a little more complicated.
