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,

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