The big block revs to about 6K RPM and the V6 to about 7.5K RPM so with one intake stoke every other rotation of the engine this equates to 2625 liters per minute of air flow per cyclinder at redline for a 7 liter V8. The 3.7 liter V6 would have 2325 liters per minute per cylinder of airflow at redline. Essentially the maximum air flow that any one primary on our engine is comparable to the maximum air flow on a big block.
2325 is comparable to 2625?

dyno numbers don't always mean everything. Its part throttle response too, that adds to the "fun" factor in driving.
