Engine will probably see 6700 rpms or so once in a while.

So...Speed demon 650 or 750?

I read an article where an engine made 400 at the flywheel and the 750 speed demon was too big.

650. My 347 makes about 400 fwhp and the 750 was too big for it as well.

Using 331 ci, 6700 max rpm, and 100% ve the formula says 709 cfm. Using 90% ve it comes out to 567 cfm. I don't think you'll ever see 100% ve, and you would still be over carbed.
