The would be close if you were comparing primary and secondary sides that had the same fuel metering structure (like a typical Holley 4150/4160 style carb).

Measuring throttle bores or primary/secondary air flow and extrapolating that to fuel flow doesn't take into consideration how a QJet triple venturi primaries meters fuel as compared to the the non-booster secondary side that has a simple discharge tube. On the primary side, even the idle circuit contributes to fuel flow as the primaries open.

As quirky as they are, I love 'em. -Al
