If you do the math for a stock application, you get 366 CFM required. If you choose modified, you get 448 CFM required. These calculations are with 3600 RPM redline (V6) and volumetric efficiency of 1.
Yep, and that shows the Rochester as the better choice but it really doesn't matter. Fact is there is an original V6 between the frame rails and a Chevy isn't desecrating the engine bay LOL
Whatever you boys choose, best of luck to you and have fun with it. That in the end is what really counts
