Here's a few:

TPIS Insider Hints Handbook:
48 mm TB 668 CFM @ 1.5 in-HG (20.4 in-H20)
48 mm w/airfoil 709 CFM @ 1.5 in-HG

Nov 97 GMHTP:
48 mm TB 670 CFM @ ? (no drop given, assume 1.5 in-HG)
52 mm TB 759 CFM @ ?
48 mm & stock plenum 576 CFM @ ?
52 mm & stock plenum 662 CFM @ ?
48 mm & ported plenum 688 CFM @ ?

I think the 48mm TB flows around 650 or so CFM.
