Those numbers sound reasonable to me. But as I mentioned earlier, the throttle body (at wot) isn't a very restrictive part of the system. So making it 10% more efficient doesn't translate into a measureable amount of horsepower. (And it won't increase flow by 10% through the system.)
Plus your typical L98 is only pulling about 500 cfm to begin with.
LOL....hrrmmmmm I wonder why???
What could it possibly be?? I mean surely adding a 10% flow to the INTAKE would increase the over CFM of the motor wouldn't it??
LOL
This whole thread is the reason I used to make 112% on my Physics exams in College.
Ever hear of the Bell curve? If 40% of the class "should" make a "C" grade or 70% watch what happens to my true 80% score
10% should get an A 20% should get a B 40% should get a C 20% should get a D 10% should get an F
Well what happened when the 40% turned a true "F" score on a test?? The Professor would award enough points to the entire class (including me with my true "B") in order to bring the 40% up to a "C" level....therefore I got 30 points tacked on to my "B".....making it an A+++
