12A intake flow?
I'm thinking about carb mods, but am interested in what the stock 12A intake manifold flows by itself. Why increase carb flow beyond the ability of the intake manifold, right? I'm sure that it's been talked about already, but I couldn't find specific numbers. Thanks!

I don't think you have to worry about out-flowing the manifold. RX7Carl does carb mods and his carb is flowing more than 400 CFM compared to the stock carb flowing around 300 CFM.

if with manifolds, are they same?

Airflow is my life
The manifold is restrictive and is in need of improvement. I have worked out the details to make it a dual plenum with smooth flowing and ported runners. Numbers arent here (im at work shhhhhh) but anyway, its not necessary for the manifold to flow as much as the carb since even the ports on the plates wouldnt support that much airflow. Its most important for it to flow enough for top end without losing velocity for low end performance. If you made it flow enough to maximize peak power it would have no low end whatsoever.
Oh and the Sterlingcarb flows 465CFM's as of the end of last year.

I think Sterling DID actually flowbench the stocker intake, but never posted the numbers. I'm curious also on what the stocker actually did flow.
