The chit chat about aero using leaf blowers etc has reminded me that I 
need to get a leaf blower to do some testing with. Not aero but mass air 
flow sensor testing. I want to stack up 2 vane air flow meters and one 
old fors mass air flow meter and a throttle body in one long string and 
then draw through them with a leaf blower or similar. More flow is 
better so a big leaf blowere would work really well. What I am having 
trouble with is getting ratings in cfm...every mfg has mph but since I 
don't know the duct size cannot determine the cfm from that. How about 
some of you hguys with leaf blowers, take a look at teh speed rating and 
then measure the outlet size diameter and shoot me a note that way I can 
determine the cfm and maybe start looking for a particular model. This 
is all in support of adding a larger vane air flow meter to the 
screaming 61 cubic inches of turbo terror that my wife will ultimately 
drive on the salt. No rush, anythime this morning befpore 9 am pst will 
do, lol...nah I'd be happy to get data from you at anytime.
