to find the volumetric efficiency of an engine,use the formula---
engine size (cubic inches ) x maximum rpm divided by 3456 equals cfm at 100 % volumetric efficiency
example 350 ci x 6,000 rpm=2,100,000 divided 3456=608 cfm
many race engines only achieve 95 % volumetric efficiency....... stock engines only use 80 %..........built engines use 85 % +/-................so bigger isn't always better......too much gas won't make you go faster.........

Heres a link to an article about a Vortech being retrofitted to a 67 carbed Mustang, I'm guessing you could come up with something for your project if you have some fab skills and do some more research.
