Steve my mentor old machinist had one of the first flow benches around and used 10" and gave me that number. He also had one of the few dynos back then a gauge one you had to watch. to get numbers! And your motor could "run the numbers". Shop across the street had a newer Superflow dyno later that was a good 25% higher on the same motor. Guy that owned that shop was a racer that died in a crash so he bought the shop and took a day or so to calibrate it correctly to read right on.

Why when I see dyno numbers I want to see a time slip with mph and wt to see how close it is if the numbers are real.
