    Quick & Dirty Carburetor Sizing

    This is a real quick and dirty formula for figuring carburetor CFM requirements for a street engine. This "Ballpark" method is very useful at the swap meet, parts store, or when impressing friends and family.

    Take the engine displacement and multiply by 2. Then subtract 15% from the total. For a little healthier engine, subtract only 5%.

    This a real ball park formula. For a more accurate calculation, see the Carburetor Sizing Calculator. But, this is still a good formula for general sizing purposes.

    d = Displacement in Cubic Inches. (d x 2) - 15% = CFM

    EXAMPLE: d = 350 (350 X 2) = 700 (700 - 15%) = 595 CFM
