Surely not the first time I screwed up either.

Back to the question at hand, I don't understand why the actual calculations reflect the differences stated.

Again assuming they used the same method in (Advertised) cfm for the 355 cfm 2 bbl and the 500 cfm 2 bbl, using your formula for each, wouldn't the 850 venturis have at least the same or larger (Actual) difference in cfm than the 750 venturis?

(750 venturis) - (1 x 355 Advertised cfm 2bbl carb) - (251 cfm with the 1.414 conversion) vs (373 cfm with the actual calculations) = 122 cfm difference.

(850 venturis) - (2 x 500 Advertised cfm 2 bbl carbs) - (958 cfm with the 1.414 conversion) vs (963 cfm with the actual calculations) = 5 cfm difference.

Just wondering why am I not seeing it reflected in the actual calculations?


Thanks,
