Head flow numbers... Finally! (AFR's done by Race Prep)
Head flow numbers... Finally! (AFR's done by Race Prep)
My heads are finally on UPS headed home to pappa... Here are the specs.
AFR LT4 castings ported and polished by Race Prep. www.race-prep.com
Intake Port Volume 213cc
Exhaust Port Volume 65cc
All testing done at 28"
Intake lift/cfm:
.050/39.6
.100/74.7
.150/106.8
.200/135.5
.250/166.5
.300/194.4
.350/220.4
.400/242.0
.450/259.7
.500/278.5
.550/298.1
.600/314.6
.650/335.5
Exhaust lift/cfm
.050/25.1
.100/52.2
.150/75.8
.200/104.2
.250/122.1
.300/147.8
.350/165.9
.400/181.0
.450/193.9
.500/201.1
.550/210.9
.600/219.0
.650/232.3
Heads were matched to the following cam specs...
.684/.673 lift, 261/268 duration at .05, and 112 lsa. That is a solid roller grind.
Not too shabby for heads with 213cc intake runners
What I didn't mention was that these are 220 castings and that if I want to go bigger in the future there is still a whole lot of room to work with
They're going on a street car so we kept it mild this time around

nice numbers-

I do not remember Phil's #'s but my flow #'s are close until .400 lift. After that these heads steadily pull away and flow about 10 cfm better at .500 lift, 25 cfm better at .550 and 40 cfm better at .600 lift.
These heads flow MUCH better. Phil's heads may be closer above .500 lift and may even flow better than these below .400 lift. These heads are MUCH larger than you will ever get a stock casting (180-185cc versus 213cc) so on a Hot Cam motor with a stock bottom end the smaller head is better as far as acceleration. A big cubic inch, super high RPM, Lots of NOS or boost the larger runner volume actually helps ya.
The exhaust #'s are the same until .300. Then at .400 are 5 cfm better, at .500 are 15 cfm better and at .600 they are 25 cfm better.
With the size cam that is mentioned he could REALLY use the extra cfm of these heads.
Nice #'s.

That .650 number is impressive.

Yes, but like I said, these are a street head... they're all about velocity, not peak port flow numbers. If we were doing an all out race setup then yes, there is a whole lot more potential waiting to be unleashed in these heads.....

I think the chart you guys need to see is the Port Flow Analyzer chart.... There are spots in these heads that almost reach 500 fps.
A few numbers didn't show up on the fax, so I'm going to try to get them today from Race Prep. Then I'll try to get them online so you all can check it out...

I noticed that my 0.400-0.500" lift numbers are a little higher on both intake and exhaust.
0.400" lift - 242.0 vs. 257.5 intake
0.400" lift - 181.0 vs. 188.2 exhaust
0.500" lift - 278.5 vs. 298.5 intake
0.500" lift - 201.1 vs. 212.7 exhaust
The raised runners might have explained the intake flow difference, but I can't explain the exhaust as easily. In fact, my exhaust numbers are higher from 0.300"-0.600" lift. What size valves are you using? Mine are 2.100"/1.625".
Now all I need is one of those nice shiny Hogans manifolds

Excellent numbers, Chuck!
