so at 9000 revs that's about 120 litres per second (if my maths is right)

So what would it be for a twin cam, 4 valve per cylinder with flowed heads, high lift cams etc.
Must be where Ducati went wrong with their Moto GP bike with the Carbon airbox, the 400 litre airbox was dictating the whole layout of the bike to be wrong.
