Yup... although, I have heard a number of quotes between 4800 to 5500 cfm... so I just call it 5k to err with some safety factor.



Here is a discussion on this very subject from a couple of years ago, RE: Bad Penny 1.0.

Mind you that the number that Carl quoted for operation temperature and its max value... was when he was killing it on the track. The actual street temperatures... were even better. In fact... the specific system is so efficient... that it requires an oil thermostat to keep the temperature in it. And thus... without a shroud.

At higher operating speeds... the shroud will only hurt. But that would be braking the law.
