Default flow numbers for ported 98 heads

max flow for the intake is 293 and the exhaust is 202.......what does that mean exactely? How does this translate into HP and Torque??

That doesn't mean much, but if those measurements are at .600, your exhaust flow is poor

Intake -- 132 195 240 283 296 227

Stock LS6 Heads - as published

.100 .200 .300 .400 .500 .550 .600
Intake 62 126 184 224 251 256 257
Exhaust 57 108 143 163 176 180 183




Your #s are quite an improvement over stock... if your #'s are at .600, then the exhaust is somewhat on the low side, but still improved. And as you can see, you are out-flowing stock LS6 heads, with which alot of people are making big power. With that cam selection, you will still see significant increases in perfomance.

Those ported heads sure do drop off at .600 lift
