Default Flow rate on "stock" size ports...

I'd like to get info on the flow numbers for the stock unported LS1 heads, like the "806" - "241" - "243" castings. I'm interested in what the stock ports flow on these castings to see how much better aftermarket heads will actually be. Can anybody help?

I think Livernois website shows the comparison. It is by a pretty good margin but the intake runners are bigger than stock so that accounts for some of it.

Here are the flow numbers for a stock 243 casting compared to our CNC stage 2 243 casting with a 220cc intake runner.

Also bear in mind since the motor cannot run w/o an intake, the intake is going to be the main determination. I dont think there is a intake out there that flows over 300 thats factory based, i.e. LS1, LS6, FAST (even ported), Typhoon.

LS1Tech, Gen III External engine stickies, scroll down to letter F. LS1 tech stickies contain a lot of information.
