Hi Dale, By now you probably saw my previous message, which also said that I agree with you but in a different way (Even though I called you Brad. Sorry about that.).
I think the main thing is to be realistic about what RPM you are trying to achieve 100% VE at. Most street-only cars don't ever see high RPMs. John Nasta -----Original Message----- John, I think we're agreeing, just in a different manner. :*) If you calculate for 100% VE and knowing you'll only get 75%-80%, no problem. Who makes a 362cfm (or whatever) carb anyway, right? What I was trying to get across was that if you calculate for a realistic cfm carb, you'll only overcarb a little bit (say a 390 Holley or 500 Edelbrock) instead of the 100% which might lead you to overcarb to say, a 700 or 750. Shoot, if everyone thought alike and built the same cars...we'd all be clones. :*) Dale McIntosh
