For example, my 750 Proform main body is supposed to flow 775 CFM. So what does a Holley HP flow as opposed to advertised? Do all the Quickfuel/Proform flow a little more than the rating? Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Gained .05 in the 1/4 but throttle response was much less and gas mileage sucked. And this was a low 11 high 10 second duster with a smallblock.
