"To calculate the true CD at the above listed flanges, one would need to know what the corner radius are"

Good point and one often overlooked. I'm guilty of just doing height x width when figureing a port area.

Similar situation as forgetting the ring area when calculating a compression ratio.
Often overlooked. That tiny, hidden space between the top piston ring, the cylinder wall, and the top of the piston.

Thanks Stan.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
