With the A/C cranking on a 99° day it stays right at the 195ish mark. Same goes for any other scenario too I guess, stays under 200.
Big open front end doesn't hurt the air supply. If it works, it works. It's never a 'one size fits all' deal but worth mentioning JIC you might have been experiencing fluctuations.

Hopefully we'll be able to attend a show soon enough or get some local members together for a meet & greet.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
