I can assure you that a 287 CFM 2V will be flowing at least 100% VE. How can I say that? If everything is right in the combo, the engine WILL be pulling vacuum long before it gets to the finish line. OBTW, try explaining that to the man designing your cam.
Billy, I understand the VE will be higher. I used a lower number in the calculation just for a number. To use 100% in the calculation would only further show inadequate the carb is.

Since the wife want's to drive and I've acquired another car......I guess I'll take a stab at it.
