Default Holley 950HP doesnt flow 950CFM

I have one. I had to confirm the myth. I called Holley. They said it doesnt quite flow 950. So I asked, "Well what does it flow, 850?"

No, 790!

So, I asked what the 1000HP flows, and the answer was 900.

Gee, with Q-jets it's just the opposite. Some are rated at 650 or 700 cfm: ALL will do 750cfm. Makes you wanna re-think trading off that 'dumb ol' Q-jet for a shiny new Holley, doesn't it?
