they look pretty respectable to me for 853 castings. CNC'd 243's are checking in about 25-40 more CFM. stock 243's are around 240 at .600 so you've bested them by 31 cfm.

I'd rather a set of heads that flow 270cfm with ~stock sized runners than a set that flows 300 cfm with 240cc runners.

Also, the port work can't be to pathetic because they continue flowing all the way up to .600" lift w/o backing up.
...but midlift numbers could be a little better.

I agree with Studytime. The flow from .500 lift to .600 lift shows they are not backing up or trailing off. Just make sure you have a cam with enough lift to take advantage of the heads. More to the cam thing but that is left to others.
