Those are called "real world" numbers....LOL

(Dont be bummed out if you were expecting alot more...)

I'm guessing by the curve the exhaust is without a pipe.

Another key factor is how large the runner is. If its less than 220 cc's the numbers are pretty solid....less than 210cc's they are really solid.....over 230 cc's and there not that impressive....you get my point I'm sure.

Overall though the numbers look very realistic and regardless of runner volume should produce decent power. Also, 1020 benches (depending on how old it is) can read 5-10 CFM less than a 600 bench. If its a reasonably new bench the calibration between the two is very similar (Superflow addressed the discrepancy in their own machines a few years ago after stating for years prior there wasn't a discrepancy....neat "slide of hand"....LOL)

Have a runner cc'ed and you have all the info you really need at this point...

Good luck,
Tony

If its legit looks on par for a decent set of stock castings. flow numbers dont tell you much of nothing unless its on a bench with a track record though Im sure youve heard that again and again.

Those numbers from the manufacturer?

Looks almost identical to patriot's advertised flow for their stage 2 ls6 heads. http://www.patriot-performance.com/w...05234&DID=1225

Jeff you know who did the heads, set them to Headway, its a shop in Ny and had them flow the heads. Just wanted to make sure i got a good set of heads. Also looking for a 6sp you got one?? Its a performabuilt Level II with a 3600 stall. less then 1k miles on it.
going to get rid of my A4 and do more of this.

Why in the world did you send them out of state instead of one of the local benches we have a benchmark to compare against so those numbers mean something? If you have stock heads from that bench it might give you a clue. The numbers on paper look pretty decent, enough cyl head to make 450+ even on our dyno
