We flowed a 241 head on our bench the other day with a stock valve, stock valve job, using a clay radius on a 3.905 bore and it flowed 231 / 179 @.600".

This is from Chevy High Performance's online cylinder head flow database.

Production LS1 Aluminum Head





GM won’t be left out of category 3 with these heads. This head has great 0.400-inch lift numbers as well as a good E/I ratio. They also feature a more flat valve angle (15 degrees) in order to promote a better combustion chamber that’s shaped like a kidney to help direct combustion and reduce possible detonation. Remember that this head will not interchange with pre-‘93 small-block heads.
