Not at the shop right now, but if memory serves the ones we have flowed were in the 250's @ .600". In the morning, we will get some numbers all the way from .100"-.600" posted up.

Here are the numbers on a stock 243 head with stock valves and valve job. These were flowed on a 3.905" bore using a clay radius.

.100 63 / 59
.200 124 / 105
.300 179 / 140
.400 220 / 159
.500 242 / 170
.550 250 / 175
.600 252 / 178

do you have any info on what those heads you just mentioned flow at .600?

i know with the bigger valves you are getting 305ish but how about with stock valves?

also, im assuming there has been no multi angle job done on the stock valves is that right?

thanks

Here are some flow numbers on a set of our ported 243 castings with 2.00"/1.55" valves. Heads were flowed on our Superflow 1020, 3.905" Bore, using a clay radius, and pipe:

.100" 75 / 62
.200" 154 / 121
.300" 215 / 165
.400" 254 / 200
.500" 285 / 217
.550" 292 / 221
.600" 301 / 226

We do our 5 angle valve job on these.

He would likely be wanting the Stage III since he has a 436.

Didn't see the 436 part. We can do a set of our stage III custom done for your bore size.
