stupid $$!!!
South Pa seems to be the cut off for it. They actually have laws about the harvest and selling of it in PA.

yea - I figured it wasn't up here - no one has ever mentioned it.. the Appalachian Trail comes up right behind my house though, so I thought it was worth an ask...

this was 4years ago - - It's illegal to harvest ginseng from any national park and most national forests in the southeast. The price of wild ginseng roots has climbed in the last decade. Now domestic buyers pay $500 to $600 per pound compared with about $50 per poundof cultivated roots

there was a History Channel show about it recently - pretty fun to watch really - Appalachian Outlaws - Ginseng Facts - HISTORY.com
Expensive stuff for sure but it is 10-40 years old what they want to buy

huh - interesting stuff - where/how did you get this #? 408 CID is about 0.24 CFM per compression stroke. Wouldn't that change quite a bit depending on the pistons?
sounds like i need to just plant some ginseng lol

It's standard engine CFM calculation. Compression ratio doesn't change it since you can only fill each cylinder with a fixed volume of air before you compress it. The calculation is engine displacement cubic inches divided by 1728 (cubic inches per cubic foot), multiply by max rpm and then divide by 2 since it's a 4 stroke.

now I see why guys are always asking about the highest RPM of their engines.. and I see why there was a 950 on mine previously - - he had a 150 NOS shot on it and I am sure he pushed it to 8000rpm - - hell, it has a spragless TC in it that is either 4 or 5k... (still haven't investigated close enough to be sure which)
