Chime in and correct me here if I'm wrong.

The engine displacement is 478 cubic inches, which is 0.276 cubic feet.
For 2,000 rpm, the air flow is displacement x rpm divided by 2 = 276 CFM

During turbo boost there is the additional flow as a fraction of atmospheric pressure to add in, so for a boost of 6 psi, which is 41% of 14.7 psi (pressure at sea level). Adding 41% to 276 cfm gives us an an air flow of 389 CFM at 2,000 rpm.

For 2,500 rpm the flow is 345 CFM plus a boost of 11 psi (78%), which gives us 614 CFM.

So, the vacuum measurement above (previous posts) of 8 inches of water is for a flow of 614 CFM.
