Flow Figures: in CFM - Please be aware of bore size when comparing CFM numbers.  A larger bore will always inflate flow figures as a result of the intake valve being unshrouded. Even 020" increase in the bore will inflate flow figures by more than 10%-20%. We recommend checking a CFM flow rate that is flowed on the same size bore as you intend to use.
