Joe:

Thanks for your input.  Can you recall any other details of what defined the
rating point?  Critical flow?  Maximum allowable pressure drop?  Some
optimum?  With or without air cleaners?  

My sly drool indicates 500 cfm is equivalent to 2,295 lbs/hour at sea level,
60 degrees.  At a 15:1 air-fuel ratio, fuel use would be 164 pounds/hour or
about 28 gallons/hour of gasoline.  If your 300 was doing 130 mph, that
would be 4.6 mpg at WOT.  Probably a reasonable number for a racing 300.

C-300'ly,

YES, I  was lead to believe that the original methods of rating them was  
Different, at least by the Chrysler labs, More like Pounds per rather  
then cubic feet



As I recall from my many months of sitting at a Chrysler flow stand, we
used 
"Pounds Per Hour" of airflow in our calculations.
