Ray , its all nonsense , those cfm gauges can be calibrated to read anything .
They will be lucky to get 275 cfm .
I suspect because they used to state on the CA website that the scorpion had 326 cfm , they had to come up with a figure the same to keep up the pretense the jag is more powerfull .
The vid was mentioned on a US forum , ED V's explanation was the 230v version is more efficient , but when it was shown to him that the US/UK version has the same test spec from ameteks lab , and amp draw is the only difference , he had no answers .
Steambrites testing shows 274 cfm .
It does seem as if the figures have been fabricated some how. But I don't see why, 279 cfm is pretty good from 2 vacs. Maybe there is a real explanation but I cant seem to get anyone who is suposed to know to answer. Where is Ed Valentine or Nick or any one with a Jag?
And yes I would like a Jag XF too but a M5 would be a lot better.

You simply cant believe anything from CT or camp CA
Respect to u for raising your question on CT , im sure they are in a kerfuffle thinking up a plasable excuse ,
or they will just fob off the queston .
Also , did i see some chap suggesting he had 400cfm by removing the silencer ? no disrespect to anyone trying to improve their machine , but this is nuts also .... It reminds me of guys who used to fit 4" exhausts to 1.3 novas and think they gained 50bhp , when all they gained was noise .
Steembrite tested the jag at 274 with the silencer on , this suggests it makes little or no difference and the couple of cfm u might gain by removing it is far out weighed by the benefit of reduced noise imo .
