Again, it was Matt's idea, but on my car.

I'm glad this thread came up because I have a q45 throttle body but it has two plates inside it and was wondering if it could be used on my max somehow. Obivously from what i'm reading it cant so I'm going to throw it away.

And since join date means nothing (nevermind that I'm on EVERY day) then I guess I'll just go ahead and delete my account.

At 6900 rpm, 100% VE on a 3.0 will result in an airflow of ~365 CFM's (at standard atmospheric conditions).
Now at 6900 rpms, my old EU logs from the dyno show my injector PW would have been about 11.9 ms. So for every 2 crank revolutions (a full cycle), the injectors are open 11.9 ms, for a total of 41 seconds per minute. Assuming that DEK injectors are ~290 cc/min (at 43 psi) and accounting for gasoline weight (~6 lbs/gallon), then that means my fuel flow rate could be estimated at 18.85 lbs/hr.
But we need airflow, so given the AFR I was running at that rpm (13.2), and knowing that at standard conditions air weighs 0.0765 lbs per cubic foot, my estimated actual airflow rate would be 54.21 CFM's PER CYLINDER. Multiply by 6 and you get the engine airflow rate which would be ~ 325 CFM.
Finally, my VE at 6900 rpm would then be 325 / 365 = 89%.
Now this could easily be off a few % due to several factors such as the variation from standard atmospheric conditions that dyno day, variations in the weight of gasoline, injector flow etc. Also please remember this is 2 years ago and the car was not anywhere close to being as optimal a setup as I had last year, or will this year for that matter. My intake was quite restrictive still at that point, for starters. I'd estimate my VE for last year's setup was decently above 90% at that rpm, and it should only get better this year (I think).
Anyhoo.. there ya go. Fun bedtime math, while half asleep. lol. Hope I didn't make any silly mistakes... If you repeat this exercise for various rpms you'll get the VE curve.
Edit: all of the above would be a lot simpler with a scanner that shows mass airflow rate (as opposed to voltage)

But if you know the AFR and the DC/PW you can approximate like I did above, it takes the MAF out of the equation.
