Our people say they can get to 99% accuracy from a port, however, when going to the seat area, there are metrics like "picking the throat size." In this case we chose to go 92% that reduced flow quite significantly, so be very careful. We are doing a 642 cubic inch Pontiac engine and the throat size is the limiting factor. We brought the flow back with a carefully constructed intake manifold runner by Mr RPM himself, "the Kat" Rick Katterjohn.

If your ultimate goal is power and your not restricted by rules then it's far and away cheaper with less headaches to pump a good amount of boost into a smaller motor.

Well, I'm old school and live by, "there's no replacement for displacement" but my main reason for this thread was to see just how many someone got out of a Pontiac and my basis for that was how many people are getting out of the BBC. I realize that they are 2 different animals but with a BBC being a 454 and a Pontiac a 455 sparked my curiosity.
