What would it take to make 1.44 lbs-ft per cid ?

Highly doubt it,
What is there to doubt. He said quite clearly that he set records with less airflow.

"another example : Chrysler SuperStock #308 castings 1.880/1.600 Valve Combo
with a 162.0cc max Intake Port - NHRA Limit
i spent 3 extra Days hand sanding Floor's epoxy shape to get to 285 CFM @ 0.750 Lift in a 161.5cc Port 1.880=Intake valve OD
so i dupilcated that Port shape in the other 7 Intake Ports
and because its a casting ... only that one Port=285 CFM , the others came out between 277 t0 280's
on the Dyno that 371cid lost HP and made Peak HP 100 to 200 RPM lower
ran slower down the Dragstrip
, so from that point on , i gave my Customers around 260 to 265 CFM max in a 161.5cc Port at 4.94800 CenterLine Length
at 265 CFM at 0.750 Lift we set a bunch of National Records with 318,340,360 Engines

You don't think he would of rathered
He would rather set records......

It's about what's right or best
Looks like BEST was less airflow.
