With the right port velocity, the right cam overlap, and everything else.... >100% can be achieved N/A.

By creating enough port velocity that the air will cram itself in even after the cyl is full......

Is it really pump gas? I would figure the octane would be a lot higher

F1 BMEP @ power peak is excellent but not really better than ProStock. So F1 is getting similar VE to PS.

FWIW, mr2guru, calculate the torque/cubic inch @ hp peak for :

1) 3.0L(183 cubic inches) V10 with 950 hp @18,500

2) 500 cubic inch V8 with 1400 hp @ 9500

F1 petrol is near pump gas as far as octane, but it has many differences. It's also different for each team.

Creating a Venturi Speeds up air creating a low pressure area. Same principle as a carb. Apply that to port velocity and wallah!
