Before i post up results i will tell you this is on an 853 head and i ported one intake runner,one exhaust runner and removed the rough casting finish in the chamber.On the intake runner i only removed 8cc-stock-202-ported-210..On the exaust it was the same 8cc from 72-80cc.I then had the two runners i did flowed and two completely stock runners.This was done on a superflow 1020.They used a 4.125 bore fixture,and said its no big deal as this is an a-b comparison.I will get some pics up later of the ported set.I will probably do more work on the intake runner and have it done again,as most people remove about 20-25cc worth of material.My buret to cc the runners came in the day i went to drop off the head.Now that i have it i can gauge my grinding.here are the numbers.Great mid and low lift on the intake,and i reduced flow on the exhaust in the low lift somehow.The intake started slowing down after .450.

Not bad for an at home DIY project, but way off on the aftermarket bro. I'd be careful about hogging out the intake ports too much. You may increase the flow some, but if you kill a/f port velocity the heads are going to make the car perform like a dog down low. Not to say that it wouldn't benefit a track car, I am saying a street/DD car.
Looking fwd to seeing the pics.

I cut and pasted this from one of Tony Mamo's threads. Very good info, thought you might be interested.
All numbers recorded utilizing 4.125 bore unless otherwise noted.
“T” indicates turbulent and could not record any data
“Stg 3” heads were heads that I knew were advertised as such. Others might have been “Stg. 3” but I only labeled heads I was sure of.

What's interesting to note is how well the AFR 205's faired among a group of cylinder heads that have a huge advantage in port volume. It becomes a little clearer why the 205 has consistently put up good numbers on the dyno and great results on the street.

yeah i think if i just remove the swirl ramp,maybe bring the port up to like 217-220 and it should flow much better past .450.The exhaust lost some because the valve seat on the short side radius sticks into the exhaust port a lot.Real bad core shift from the seat on that side.And i blended the seat in on the short side.I will get pics up tonight to show what i am talking about.For a 210cc port its not too bad.

okay i discovered what happened with the exhaust when i was able to get a look at it.The guy that flowed it said it was probably something i did with the valve job or the short turn radius.Since all i did to the short turn was sand it i knew that wasnt the problem.I made the mistake of opening up the valve seat just ahead of the valve job.I did this to try and blend it in with the bowl.Since these 853 heads have such a huge difference between the seat and bowl,it becomes a bit of a problem.The only way to fix this is to intall a new seat,which i dont plan on doing.This particular head will be used as a learning tool.I will get up some pics of the exhaust port later when my better half gets home with the camera.But i have a couple pics i took before of the intake port.If i could add material in the exhaust port in one particular area then these could flow really nicely at those low and mid lift numbers.

Here is a pretty good article that might help you out. I'm not sure what you are running from a valve job, but with a good valve job you can pick up 20-30 cfm. The valve job and the bowl are the most important areas. Also the throat should be opened up to %86-89% of the valve size for max velocity. Looks like your spent some time on those, how long did that take you? I ported a set of sbc dart iron eagle heads, I will never port cast iron heads again, it takes forever!

I cut and pasted this from one of Tony Mamo's threads. Very good info, thought you might be interested.
All numbers recorded utilizing 4.125 bore unless otherwise noted.“T” indicates turbulent and could not record any data
“Stg 3” heads were heads that I knew were advertised as such. Others might have been “Stg. 3” but I only labeled heads I was sure of.

That is pretty SAD considering the bore size.... to bad they aren't all tested on the bore size guys run them on. Any of those "Bad ***" heads that also have some king kong .200" lift flow number will be turds.... not to mention without dyno testing them it doesn't say anything.
Turds in what sense? Heads with high low/mid lift flow will make MAD torque. They won't be turds, they'll pull them right out your ***. Now if you're talking about the 275cc head, yes, they won't work well on a 3.9" bore and will be slow to build port velocity and torque, but anything 4.125" and larger they will shine.

Before i post up results i will tell you this is on an 853 head and i ported one intake runner,one exhaust runner and removed the rough casting finish in the chamber.On the intake runner i only removed 8cc-stock-202-ported-210..On the exaust it was the same 8cc from 72-80cc.I then had the two runners i did flowed and two completely stock runners.This was done on a superflow 1020.They used a 4.125 bore fixture,and said its no big deal as this is an a-b comparison.I will get some pics up later of the ported set.I will probably do more work on the intake runner and have it done again,as most people remove about 20-25cc worth of material.My buret to cc the runners came in the day i went to drop off the head.Now that i have it i can gauge my grinding.here are the numbers.Great mid and low lift on the intake,and i reduced flow on the exhaust in the low lift somehow.The intake started slowing down after .450.

Only thing I agree with is the heads are very week considering the bore size they are flowed on.

How do you figure the .200 numbered heads that are strong will run like poop? Are you sure you know what you are talking about? .200 is the largest lift area on the cams. A strong .200 number will fill a cylinder very well with a cam to complement the port. Please refrain from talking out ya *** and assume the position...
I can tell you haven't passed physics class... or math class for what I can see here.
1. ".200" is the largest lift area?" Are you joking?
