Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... Stock 2001 241 castings flow 236 at .500" 243cfm at .600". Stock #243 LS6 castings did flow 276 cfm at .500" and 287cfm at .600" on my bench. Others like ARE have gotten very similar test results as mine. LS6 head maintains more flow with intake bolted on than LS1 heads. This accounts for some of the gains made with LS6 swaps. Ported or stock .

Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... ...the ported LS6 heads from SDPC are LESS expense not more expense than ported LS1 heads...
..they cost $980 per head from SDPC and do not require a core charge...they flow 315 at .550 lift
..they are new castings not old castings re-ported!
A NO BRAINER!

Verdad Gallardo Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... Jay, if you're right and they come with an honest to goodness flow sheet and I flow them here at my local shop and the #'s match I might be calling you or SDPC. If they don't make the numbers claimed will they take them back no questions asked?

Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... 315cfm at .550 is more like a flow number for a fully ported Stage II LS6 head from LG, MTI, Absolute Speed etc., not the CNC heads offered from Scoggin Dickey.
If those CNC heads flowed that well everyone would be buying them and the sponsors wouldn't be able to sell any of theirs.

Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... I agree with above post about 315cfm at .550" being stage 2 ported heads. JimmyZ my bench is a SF600. I think problem with SDPC LS^ CNC is too big a port volume(250cc) for the flow that they have. Mine flow better and my port is only 221cc finished.

Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... You got 326 from STOCK CASTINGS????
I've seen a ton of differences from flow bench to flow bench.. putting some clay around the ports to simulate an intake can result in close to 50 cfm!.. I had my stage III MTI heads flowed recently, on two identical benches. One with clay around the ports, one without. I got 289 on the without, and 335 with..
How are you guys testing? With or without something to simulate an intake????
326 from Stock Castings???? I WANT SOME OF THOSE!!!!!!!! JUST IMAGINE HOW THEY WOULD BE PORTED!!!!!!!!

Re: LS6 Head Porting & RWHP help... The flow results that really matter are the ones with intake manifold bolted up to ported head. This is indicative of the flow motor can expect to see. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
