100% VE isn't anything great now-a-days. Heck, we regularly get 105 VE on the pump gas street engines and 110-114% VE on the better pump gas engines.

I've got dyno sheet after dyno sheet on a pump gas, single plane, single 4bbl, 383 at 110-111 VE in the 5,700-6,500 rpm range.

That's nice, but I would like to see them test the max parts together as they were matched, not put a max intake on indy heads with a different cam than was designed for the max. That all has an effect on the ram effect which the intake takes advantage of.

The first test is a flow bench which does not take into account the valve opening and closing which is part of the ram induction effects. The power band of the cam used in the test also affects the output. Put the max cam and parts together and see how they work. With the mixing of the parts, they are effecting the ram effect as designed into the max wedges.

I'll stick with my max wedge package myself...
