Re: All else being equal, how much HP per cfm?

Highlander,
There are plenty of 9-1 motors that have dynoed 600+FWHP.With a Pro charger and a cog belt,you should push the hell out of 800+FWHP or better.If the driveline,wallet,and the old ticker can handle it,go have a big Yeee Haaa.

Well LR, don't want people to think they can take a well developed port, make it flow 5, 10, 20 more cfm (remove more metal) and gain hp. The "however you get it" statement is why I made the counter point. Don't take every counter so personal.

I sure hope i can handle the 800+fwhp as i am aiming for 700-720rwhp with 12-14psi boost... so we'll see.. i have a very good aftercooler and a few other things that have costed an arm a leg and all the savings i had... being a student is a MAYOR gamble to do all this... still waiting for callies to send my incorrectly sent crank.

MG,
Had not taken it personal,you can pick up 10CFM with a good valve job you don't have to fool with the port or mixture elements.
You won't take a maxed out port to somebody else and get 10CFM within a reasonable cost.There isn't THAT much magic out there, if it was done right the first time.I am used to dealing with head guy's,that when they say that there is no more,you can take it to the bank.
