Pics of my new 6.0L Heads
Well i got some pics of my reworked heads....
They WERE Patriot 6.0L Stage II Heads.
When they were taken off the car my pistons were black.... oil......
so the valve seals were checked and 4 were bad.....
To make things worse 6 valve seats were bad and the valves were NEVER fully seated so the whole time i could of been making more HP if they were seating.
So the heads were taken to Livernois and they cleaned the heads and replaced the seats, seals, and did a new valve job.
Now for the flow sheet..... im really happy because Livernois was able to pick up almost 70cfm at .300 lift and mid range lift is were the power is made.....
I was told that the heads will flow better on my car since i have a 4.03" Bore and the heads were flowed on a 3.875" bore.
Im not worried about peak flow numbers..... Im happy with down low....

EDIT, unless you talking about your exaust numbers, where one was flowed with a pipe and one was not, I don't think that could be compared........
