750CFM would probably be their highest rated flow rating. For a V6, 750CFM
(without ANY modifications) is pretty crazy considering that the stock TB is
around 450CFM.

Ahhhh....Carbs. He who could rebuild and trick out a good Holley #3310
differentiated the men from the boys. ;)

Remember whenever you compare cfm numbers you have to know the testing
parameters used on the flowbench. For example, sometimes people use 1.5 in
HG and sometimes they use 3.0 in HG to test flow. Big difference in
results!

750cfm seems high, but I don't really know anything about TB's. I've done
my share of successful race carbs though. I guess thats a lost art now...
Disassembled my first Holley 4160 at age 2!!! I had some "cool toys".
