What would it take to make 1.44 lbs-ft per cid ?
Update...After digging around the internet and talking to some of the guy's on speed talk, forgot I opened an account over there too as well as here back in the day.
From what I can tell most of the time you want mach/fps choke point at peak hp, before peak obviously your engine gonna want peak sooner and nose over and kill top end and after peak hp your wasting velocity throughout the power curve.
And what port fps gets choke point at peak hp seems to vary with port design obviously each engines different. So to me unless you know for that particular head, cid and rpm etc.. combo what you can get away with you want to caution with lower velocities, eg.. like calculated 260-285 fps especially with poorer head designs.
I may be wrong, hard to get a straight answer on this, but seems to fit with what everyone is saying.
