Don't be mad if someone takes them to a different bench and comes back with different numbers then. Different benches will yeild different results, I have proof via my heads.

I will say that is someone massaged a LT1 casting to a 230 CFM on the exhaust side without opening it up so huge as to cause a stalling issue (stalling the airflow), then damn, that's impressive. Personally I'm a bit skeptical (ok, a lot), but I'm not going to say it can't happen.

i dont think we doubt his ability, i do think we doubt the 230cfm exhaust numbers. especially without material being added or substantially affecting air movement!

Okay. That's like saying, with a curved funnel, you can fit 10 pounds of monkey crap into a 5 pound bag.

It's just not going to happen. You got some bogus numbers

You don't get 230cfm exhaust out of an LT1 head.

#2:
You were lied to if you think 2.00/1.56 valves are stock LT1 valves.

'Nuff said.

Sorry, they dont. That isnt possible with a factory LT1 casting. Something was off, either the flower, the bench, or otherwise. 230 EX isnt going to happen

we just got the heads/intake rockers and stuff on last night, and a few pulleys and brackets and stuff.
