Well, I was speaking of the "normally aspirated" Velocity, but yea, a 4.7L
W/blower would be, hee hee, uhm, should we say AWESOME!! plus the chiller,
hee heee I can see 12's with no problem!! Now, if I could only get the ole
lady to buy into a blower & chiller ;)
Lets take one step at a time, I'm still working toward my goal of 13's,
Normally aspirated, with the least amount of bolt-ons I can get buy with.
This is gonna get interesting ;)

45º...yes...back to the pre-chiller concept but we'll add a fan.

Steven, You have to know at how many inches the CFM reading was taken.
Hughes
flow benched their 4.7L TB @ 10 inches. I think Bruce flowed his at 25
inches, that would get you in the 600+ cfm range, stock. Does'nt matter
much,
as long as you use the same test variables before and after to see your
Increase/decrease. Hughes's initial test showed 398cfm@ 10", and after
showed
450cfm, a 13% increase @ 10". They are shooting for 15/16% increase for
their
"Stage 1". After I test out the Stage 1, then it will be determined if the
4.7L can even handle more CFM than that. While more CFM is good, you are
sacrificing Velocity, which is not good. A happy medium is desired. When you
allow the CFM to go way high, usually you'll lose some Low end response, but
top end will be awesome. If you can increase CFM, but keep the Velocity
decent, thats when you'll really see a big all around performance increase.
I'll know how it works out on Saturday!

I talked to Dave again this morning, he's working on the TB today, and says
he may have found 2 to 3% more flow, so it may be a 15% increase by the time
he does my TB!
He'll be flow benching the TB again today to see what the REAL results are.

Stage I TB, 4.7L, in the next week or so. Dave says the stock unit flowed
398
cfm@ 10 inches and their Stage I unit flows 450 cfm@ 10 inches. This is a
flow increase of 12%. I have 2 options, I can send them my TB off the truck,
or I can buy a new TB ($220) ouch! If I send him my TB it will be very
inexspensive, since I sent him an intake manifold earlier for free. His
regular price for a customer supplied TB is $155.00
