That gives me 107.9% VE, which can't be correct because pipe max computes that to 800+hp in my pump gas 511. That to me is at least 100hp off. There must be another way to figure this or am i doing something wrong?


PipeMax only knows what it is told. 356 cfm @ 0.800 lift is good for 800 hp on a 5111 short block so PipeMax is giving you a correct answer for that input. But you have to be smarter than the software. Do you have a 0.800 lift cam? If not then the flow at 0.800 doesn't matter.
