950 cfm. I ran one on an Edelbrock manifold on my 68 Camaro. Engine was L-88 427 which replaced the original 375hp 396. Had a few other things done to the engine and car. My Z finally was able to beat the Camaro's time in the 1/4 when I started spraying. Biggest problem with the 3-BBL was it bogged most engines. I didn't care about that as when I was playing, engine was never below 6K. No bog there. Brute hp and tq. I bought the Camaro new in Oct. 1967 with the 375/396. Lots of fun.
