x volume per cylinder restricted (oem)
x volume per cylinder free flow (tube and cone filter)
Sorry if I seem slightly "ignorant" in this stuff.. Cad drafting and sheetmetal is my thing.. LOL.
68 Chevy 327 CID (transplated from a '66 mated to a turbo 350 with shift kit) was my last and only real interest in mods before now.. car was 11 years old if that gives you a clue..
Yes, a higher flow should be seen with the free flow setup. But like with the DCAI that needswings has it's complete overkill. So it would be nice to know the exact limit of the engine in terms of intake.
For the sake of consistencey for the experiment I think these experiments should all be done at idle and 55 mph (in the same gear).
The logging system for torque pro will plot all the info that we need for this experiment. If you log on to the site that the data gets uploaded to it will graph everything for you pretty nicely.
