I'm almost thinking this is showing that the twin TB's are restricting the flow to the intake, although that is admittedly a bit tough to fathom as they're pretty darn big. But then again I have nothing else to compare it to...I have never run another EG33 with cams and headwork so I can't really comment on the VE potential of this engine when all the mods are in place.

I'm open to comments and input from other forum members.
10"x10"=100 sq" X 10lbs/sq" =1000lbs. Yes I guess it would flex a bit.

The engine will achieve a VE of 106%, in its standard state, at higher rpms it will achieve 110%.
