Carburetor cfm calculator

Carb selection and worries of being too small or too big and how to size has been around for decades, but now with so many sizes and styles you gotta decide on more than just cfm. Pure street use:
The old but still relevant from 1978 “Mopar Performance” book gets it right IMO:View attachment 1715827462View attachment 1715827463

Keeping the above in mind then you could move on to formulas and calculations (and if you know the specs for the rest of the “package”) see what cfm you come up with.
As far as calculations go I like Vizards carb selection method which uses a correction factor. View attachment 1715827466View attachment 1715827465

Figure where your peak power rpm is and Then run the calculation with the conversion factor:

Depending on your cams duration @.050” and cylinder heads, for example you might have a correction factor of about 1.01 so:

CFM= 360 x 5500 x 1.01
—————————
3456
Running the calc yields approx. 580 CFM

Take the various calculations and compare, and with those numbers use the Mopar Performance along others way of thinking and err on the side of conservative. Unless you’re drag racing and need ever last ounce of upper rpm power......

For what you have, looks like you’d be using:
Holley: 600-650
Edelbrock: 600-650
Street Demon: 625

And call it great!
Only problem is, with what's available today with carburetors, that information is dated. Look at all the new style Holleys and Holley knock offs like the Quick Fuels and such. That MP information was written long before we had so many different adjustments like the idle and high speed air bleeds, the idle fuel restrictors, the fuel curve restrictors and on and on. That gives a LOT of leeway and tuneability that we otherwise would not have and they did not have when those articles were written. ...at least they were not available to the general public. Professional race teams knew about those mods, but they were not mainstream yet.
