Speculation from here on:
IF that engine works with 100% VE at (speculatively) 2000 RPM, it is then using/exhausting a total of 7.3L*2000=14,600L of air per minute. (Damn, that's alot of air!) For a total of 515.6 CFM exiting the tailpipe of that car.

An engine actually does half its volume per revolution so you need to divide your findings by 2.
Think about a single cylinder 4 stroke engine. 1/2 rotation for intake, 1/2 rotation for compression (nothing leaves), 1/2 rotation for combustion, 1/2 rotation for exhaust. If you add those up its 2 full rotations.
