Vacuum And tuning Help

right, but were talkin what it flows on his slant, and it ain't 884cfm on this motor.

We were talking about the flow ratings of 2bbl vs 4bbl carbs and why you can't compare the number directly.

A 225 slant at 6000 rpm that is 100% effcient can pump approximately 390 cfm of air. In reality the best you could hope for is 90% effcient or ~ 350 cfm. And any rpm lower than 6000 it's going to be less.

Putting a carb that is way oversize on an engine does nothing for power and will be difficult to tune to run acceptably at anything other than idle and WOT. For a good all around performing engine sizing the carb correctly is very important and it's better to error on the small side than big.
