Did you take measurements? How did you calculate it?

Post #83 on this page here. Show a very lightly modified intake system on a Z4 M achieving a VE of over 100% at 60 mph and a peak VE of about 108%. This fellow did all of the mods and testing himself. I totally trust his insight when he states how REALLY well designed the E9X M3's intake system is and he has NO doubts it also will easily achieve over 100% VE.

The background of this somewhat infamous thread (and collection of threads actually) is on whether or not intake scoops near the kidney grills on an E9X M3 can and do add hp.
