Converting in lbs per min to CFM ??

First, this site is great. I use it for quick conversions at work all the time. Now I'm programing a computer on 500 HP supercharged Mustang. I need a conversion done that I didn't see listed. Any ideas?

This is for air flow:

0.44995117 in lbs. per minute equals [color=Red]??[/color] cubic feet per minute

Dry air has a density of 13.076307480840681 cubic feet per pound

Dry air at 0ºC has a density of 12.417423770565761 cubic feet per pound.

pounds/minute * cubic feet/pound = cubic feet/minute

So just take whatever conversion factor from above, and multiply it by your pounds/minute value to get cubic feet per minute.
