Intake Manifold Flow #'s

Here is a little test we performed.

While we were working on an Edelbrock RPM head, we took a break to test it with some manifolds and an 850 cfm Mighty Demon carburetor. 1st column is the OOTB Edelbrock RPM head, 2nd column is the RPM head after some blending and the following columns are the indicated OOTB intakes all using the same 850 Demon. The M1 is a single plane and the 4bbl iron is from a '69 Road Runner

.800......295..........315.......................261........273......276.....285

These flows should be lower. I believe the Hughes flows were through the manifold only.

I'm not sure that I made it clear. These manifold flows are through the head and carburetor. By comparing them to the flows through the head you can see the flow loss through the manifold and carburetor.
