Lightbulb Mikuni 44 CFM rating?

I've been reading about these carbs a lot, but one question popped into my mind. What is the flow rating of these carbs?
Might as well throw in the Weber and Dell carbs also, both side and downdraft if you can spare the knowledge.
Werd,
Justin

without the venturies, then its a true 44. I don't care what everyone says but 48 IDA is the way to go. Easy to tune and with a change in venturies, it will fit any application (stock to bridge) and machning it to 51.5 for P-Port motors. I have proven that re-inventing the wheel is a waste of $$$. In addition, check out re-sale vaule.

I went and googled it this time.... the Mikuni seems to flow 422 CFM (211 per barrel).

I think I read somewhere that the CFM rating ona 2 barrel is different when comparing it to a 4 barrel. In other words, a 422 cfm 2 barrel is "bigger" than a 450 cfm 4 barrel.
