can you share the mamo 243 flow numbers? I dont think ive ever seen a 243 head flow much over 320cfms if at all. The cathedral canted valve heads flow over 350 at .650. I dont think a 243 head is capable of that.


Here are PRC ported 243s for reference. not doubting tonys skills, i just dont think 243s can be modified to get near 350cfm on the intake.

I've yet to see a pump 427 with 243 heads make anything close to 800 hp like the canted valves.

I bought the btr heads after seeing the horrible port alignment the tfs 235 had on my single plane.
so far these look very promising and come standard with iron guides.
they call them powdered metal, which is also what is in GM OE heads. I think that's different than iron

tomato TOMOTO.
Tooley says he got with the GM supplier for their "powder metal" guides and had his made by them but changed the material in the guides to make them stronger than GM guides.

I've been seeing around 360 cfm at .650 lift.
More and more I dont think flow bench numbers at the end of the day mean as much as what alot of people think.
Steve Morris has said the same recently and Tooley also.
