Not really sure, but you can probably get a rough estimate by checking your MAF to see how much air you're flowing at any given time. Then you can just do teh math to convert it from kg/h to cfm.

I'm sure that doesn't really help much, but that's how I would try to figure it out.

Without using the MAF, you'd have to know the VE and hp at max rpm, then calculate and adjust for barometric pressure and air temperature.

engine cfm formula.

( ci X rpm ) / 3500 = cfm

( 302 X 6500 ) / 3500 = 560 cfm
