flow results

[Pesce Nero]

Brad, flowed a set of as cast Trick Flow twisted Wedge heads last night and my numbers are exactly the same as what everyone says online.

at .500 they were done, 250 cfm, well at .600 it was 253 but it was over at that point

I'm very excited after a completely frustrating week of breaking shit and chasing Texas Speeds numbers. I must have had the head on the flow bench 20 times trying to get my numbers over the 280 mark In my first post with a set of LS 317 heads. There was no way I could take out the same amount of metal of the Texas Speed head and charge what I do. I would have really been happy to hit 290 cfm @ .600 with a much smaller port but the results are in. IMO, I like the Texas Speed Head and I'm sure AI's is really good too but If your going to run the TS head I would only put it on a stroker

I did want you to port them, but didn't have time. You will have the next set as I told you a few months ago, if you are willing of course. Wasn't meant to be funny at all. I'm sure you're curious to see the results as well. No need to be like that.

AI's heads will probably measure out nearly the same as mine. I don't think for one second that the numbers they post are inaccurate. They would get to much crap if they did. I have a calibration plate with my setup and as long as everyone calibrates their flowbench there shouldn't be much differences between the numbers that anyone posts. My obsession with the Texas Speed head is that when someone put them on their car, it actually went slower. my goal was to come close with the flow numbers without taking so much metal out. And it wasnt easy to do.

Wow someone had a car slow down with a set of their heads. Most LS1tech'rs think they are great for a budget head.

I went with AI only out of convenience. I paid someone to do my cam install and had the heads done while That was in progress. I am curious to know what they flow, because I wanted you to do them, but shipping times and a lack of a donor set held me back. Don't know what I lost out of the situation other than $ lol. And they are 799s not 243s like I thought prior.

What did the TW heads flow on the exhaust?

grangers car made 15hp less than russ gto does now and he had a ported head with a 233/236 freaking .651 lift cam. im convinced those PRC and TS heads are just forum marketing. AI is good stuff to but Phil has absolutely zero people skills.

I need to make a valve opening fixture for the ford/mopar and chevy heads so I only quickly checked the intakes and the numbers on my intake side matched these almost exactly

Intake/exhaust
.1 63/53
.2 141/107
.3 205/144
.4 233/171
.5 251/187
.6 251/193

exhaust side is pretty good. intake side stalls at .5

[slow94]

Ok I was just wondering. On FI vehicles the most important side is the exhaust side. The air is going to get in there whether it likes it or not with my blower . Just a matter of how good it can leave.
