The formula I remember from years of reading Hot Rod and Car Craft in my younger days is:

Flow=volumetric efficiency x (rpm X CID)/3456

If we assume 110% volumetric efficiency (from the little turbo) and 636 CID, which I think is the displacement on a 3208, along with 2800 rpm operating speed, we get 566.8 cfm.

BTW, I used to work on a couple of 3208 powered Ford cement trucks when I was in Guam. They felt like they had a lot more than the rated 200 hp. I think the 13 spd trannies helped.
