“Guys have been rating airflow using CFM since the dawn of time,” explains Gale Banks in his latest video. “Engines back then weren’t supercharged, and they weren’t turbocharged. They were naturally aspirated. So, CFM worked for measuring engine efficiency. But once you start supercharging or turbocharging them, you run into a problem.”

CFM worked for measuring engine efficiency. But once you start supercharging or turbocharging them, you run into a problem.

Gale explains why CFM is not a constant and therefore not a good measure of performance. What is a good measure? Mass Air Flow. CFM only tells you the volume of space the air takes up, it doesn’t tell you about its mass. The heavier or denser the air is in a given space, the more oxygen it will contain. That’s why knowing mass is so important. And, when it comes to Mass Air Flow, the new Monster-Ram Gen 2 reigns supreme. Watch Gale’s latest video for a detailed and fascinating explanation.
