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

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

My god your dense, I've never argued that he didn't flow less air on the bench that cfms didn't go down, that wasn't the important point (your always focusing on the wrong aspect). The point wasn't that he didn't need less airflow he needed less velocity (was the point) and to get less velocity you either make the port bigger which he couldn't or flow less air on the bench but obviously on the engine like I stated he was flowing more air. But I bet though that him and all the other racer squeezed every last useful cfm they could get out of the heads cause like I also stated, the goal wasn't to run the least cfms possible like you like to think.

Looks like BEST was less airflow.

If that what does it for ya, yes less cfm on the "bench" went faster in the car and yes they only did it all with 161.5 cc.

Does this engine make the shrine ?
