Really, 500 cfm? Wonder why the six pack worked so well on the 440, 1350 cfm. They also worked on the 340 engine.


Six pack doesn't flow 1350 cfm, that is a 2bbl rating number not a 4bbl rating number. Engine output of 400 hp requires 569 cfm with a BSFC of 0.500. If the engine is more efficient than 0.500 then it requires even less air to make 400 hp.



Okay, let's do the math on a six pack; center carb is a 350 cfm, the two end carbs flow 500 cfm each. I hope I don't need to add this up for you. Go on youtube and go to Nick's Garage and watch a 440 six pack on his Super Flow dyno. He has a camera looking down the carbs, now tell me they aren't completely open at WOT.
