THEY DO HAVE MORE CFM, A LOT MORE CFM

I'm asking because you stated "The venturis on the end carbs are 1-9/16" or 1.5625" for the venturi size (Same as a 850 cfm Holley carb venturi) but at the higher test pressure would flow more cfm."

251 cfm (the 1.414 conversion) vs 373 cfm (the actual calculations) = 24 cfm difference.

This situation with advertised cfm for carbs is much like the advertised duration of cams, fubar.


Much Thanks,

Frank
373 CFM - 251 CFM = 122 CFM DIFFERENCE, NOT 24 CFM DIFFERENCE. 24????????

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.
