Mathematical Formula & Benchmark Chart
Standard Calculation Equation:
CFM Airflow = (Engine CID × Max RPM × Volumetric Efficiency %) / 3,456
Estimated HP = (Base Airflow CFM × Air-to-HP Coefficient) × (1 + Boost PSI / 14.7)
Estimated HP = (Base Airflow CFM × Air-to-HP Coefficient) × (1 + Boost PSI / 14.7)
