Here
is a formula 80 CID * RPM/1728. Example for 6000 rpm,
80*6000
rpm/1728
= 277.77 Cubic Feet of air per minute. A cubic foot of air (at sea
level
standard day) is approx 0.076 lbm/cubic foot so 277.77*0.076 =
21.11
lbm/min
air mass at 6000 rpm . Just change the rpm to what ever value you
want.
Also note the weight of air of course decreases with altitude so
277.77
CFM provides 21.11 lbm/minute at sea level but less at altitude.
Note
this assumes 100 % Volumetric efficiency.

Oh; boy, now you’ve
done it. My beautiful intake scoop is already installed, and I apparently
designed it based on the wrong number.
You’re numbers
look right to me. I’ll have see if I can figure out what I did.
Thanks.
