Default Ported LS1 Heads- Actual Flow Numbers?

Usually when I see ported LS1 Heads from any of the companies that doing porting, I see them descriped as Stage I,Stage II,or III, etc.
Does anyone have actual flow numbers?
The data presented in a chart style would help greatly (CFMs vs. Valve Lift)

The reason I ask is that I am trying to compare the AFR 195cc LT4 or 210cc AFR Heads to ported LS1 Heads.

I would say the AFR 195cc is about equalivant to stock LS6 heads as far as flow (more or less)
The 195cc flows 260/190 CFM at .500 valve lift.
The 210cc flows 271/198 CFM at .500 valve lift.
LS1 (stock)flow 240/175 CFM at .500 valve lift.
LS6 (stock) ???????
According to Chevy High Performance Mag. anyways.

All advice is welcome, Thanks in advance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

According to AFR website the heads do about 290CFM on the intake side @.600",

I thought @.500" they did more.

HP-GURU,

What I quoted was the standard 195cc Head. I believe what you are quoting is the Competition Package 195cc which flows:

280/202 CFMs at .500 valve lift.

This is what I plan on getting. Price is $2,450 which is $700 more than the standard 195cc.

Just thought you guys may want to compare it to another car. Here is the head flow for my mitsubishi head.
