you can see by the answers here that almost everyone's take on this subject is all about peak flow numbers.

so using YOUR logic for a street hemi car with a 2800 stall convertor, 256 @.05 camshaft and 9.5-1 compression, a max port CNC hemi head flowing 460 cfm would be the cats azz? not hardly. the porting needs to match the combo. stop being so one track minded.
