Default Mass air flow covertered to CFM???

Using autotap i am see a highest mass air flow of 330g/s or 43.65 lb/min...i tried converting that to CFM using a density of air of 1.184 kg for 25*C...but the CFM comes out to around 590CFM at the throttle body/maf...

where did i go wrong...

Based on some calculations in this thread your numbers are close given the temp.

346 in3 * (ft/12in)**2 * 6000RPM / 2 = 601 ft3/min
in an ideal-filling, ideal-extraction world. So I'd say it
is ballpark right.
