Sal my friend,
There are formulae for doing the conversion from 3"-1.5" and 1.5"-3". My problem with this is that's it becomes a theoretical figure. This is fine for some. To me, I want facts, cold hard facts. I get that what ever The factual number comes out at, doesn't prove that this carb is better than that carb, I do fully understand that, but like I said, I want facts. I don't have a flow bench, probably never will, if I do get one I'm sure you can guess what's gonna be shoved on the sucker before its even out of the box!
My problem with theoretical numbers is that they can "proved" wrong with another theory.
Martin.
