Default My brodix br7 head flow chart

Let me know what you guys think. I know Brodix advertises these heads to flow more out of the box, but fyi we flowed them out of the box and they flowed much less than Brodix advertises. my cam is about 750 lift so i think i should be good.

let me know what you guys think

Every head we have tested here never hits the advertised number either. With that being said the results look pretty darn good to me. Should make some great power!

You're lucky! I bought a set of these heads and IMMEDIATELY returned them after flowing them on a freshly calibrated flow bench where they only flowed mid 380's at their peak!

What did brodix say to you as to why the numbers were so low?

when we first flowed them out of the box (already cnc'd from BRODIX), they did only flow around 390 CFM at their max. we had to do additional porting to get them to hit 412 CFM. Another guy on the CTS V forums has the same head and he was able to get his up to 420 CFM. Clearly Brodix's cnc program needs to be updated

Ahhh, that makes better sense....I think our top number was like 386 CFM which is on par with 390-ish! Still, a far cry from 416 "as advertised" and no excuse!

Never got an acceptable answer!

Yea man id be pissed. i was pretty pissed i had to have additional porting done. FWIW, it seems that all companies exaggerate the flow numbers. Who did you end up going with to replace the brodix? what do your heads flow now
