VE numbers for Packard V8's would be just great.


Based upon my DynoSim calculation, the '56 Caribbean has a V/E of 82% @ 4,000 RPMs.

specially if you can compare them against Chevy BB.


There are literally hundreds of different versions of the BBC. Choose an easy target such as the mid-70s smog motor and it has a V/E of maybe 75% or less. Choose big dogs such as the '65 396" 425hp or the '08 572" 650hp and they have a V/E of 90+%.


thnx, jack vines
