sorry for the newb question, but whats VE? the rest makes sense though. thanks for your valuable insight!
EDIT: So I did a search and found a website that kind of explains VE (Volumetric Efficiency)
http://www.ztechz.net/id2.html. I'm still having some trouble wrapping my head around what exactly it represents though. I see the formulas to calculate VE as well as CFM but can't figure out exactly what they measure in reality.
