Why, 3 litres every two turns of the crank, of course. Apply a correction for volumetric efficiency losses at high rpm. probably about 200 cfm

you always have the answer, is all I meant. even when it's staring us in the face, sometimes we (er..at least me) just miss it.

I found a chart for a 3L (not an aero, should be similar). not sure how close you need it. it shows a cfm of 420@8,000. also gives the formula for figuring cfm at any rpm.

Been there, done that. It's called a Yamahamer (aka 3.0L SHO).

OK, you win. Let me rephrase, in terms of the aero 3.0 liter, Would you want to be in the same time zone as an 8000 rpm 3.0.
