head flow Hello all....Does anyone know what the flow numbers are for the stock ls1 head in 98-99. Also how about a tuner or performance shop that does reputable head work. I would like to see around 320-340 cfm. I have a 68 mm turbo and am looking to engineer a turbo setup that will make 700-800 hp
Thanks guys

Our Stage 1.5 rev2 program is almost finished and may come close to your needs. We have just finished running in the new port on the CNC machine it sure looks promising. Tony D really worked hard on this new port and it shows in the numbers it generated. Now if only I could share them with you 
I will give you teaser....317.9@ .600 with an intake port that 5cc's smaller than our old 1.5 and that is with a 2.02 valve on a 3.9 bore!!!! Stay tuned for more info.

If you don't post flow numbers here (which I'm sure you will), could you pm them to me? Also, I would like to know, how much more flow do you think the hand finishing to comp level actually adds throughout the flow range (.100 to .600)? Thanks Brent, I'm really looking forward to some results!
