Ex. to In. ratio How do you come up with the exhaust to intake ratio?
Also, is it anything under 400ci should try to see a 75%?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you.

You divide the Intake flow into the exhaust flow. You will then see what kind of cam to use. If the ratio is around 75% use a single pattern cam, if it is lower start looking at splits with more exhaust lobe and vice-versa on above. That is what I look at on the ratio and the importance of knowing it. So if you have some heads that have a kicking exhaust port but the intake is not as good then start looking at cams like 230/224 just as an example.
