Volumetric efficiency of the L98

Anybody got a ballpark figure on the volumetric efficiency of an 88 L98 with the minor mods listed in my sig? Are there any published statements on the volumetric efficiency of the stock 88 L98?

Usually stock street engines will not have a very high VE - around 85%, at or just above peak torque. But I remember reading a build-up on a TPI 350 which made around 400 hp and its VE was 96% which is good. But an efficeint race engine can easily make over a 100%. Thats cool!
