Also with other formulas on the internet to determine the cfm requirements of a engine based on cubic inches and rpm can differ. I mentioned all this to the K&N rep and his reply was they had their own methods to determine required air flow.

Steve,
Remember the SCFM is measured and was for the measured Uncorrected HP. A 505 ci @ 6000 RPM @ 100% VE wants 877 CFM.
