Post your LT1/LT4 Ported heads Flow #'s

It's funny how the guys who put up NHRA national records talk about having too much velocity, but the average joe thinks you can't get enough of it?
Looks like another thread to race flow benches again.
I've seen stock castings go over 280cfm in a REAL customers port not some made up numbers. I'm going to test two sets later this week, one from CNC heads in Fl and one from a semi local guy, along with some AFR and TFS heads from Lloyd, and a set of AFR's from Larry Meaux.
LT4 heads can do 300cfm without too much trouble. Seen that from Lloyd, Meaux and TEA.

Exhaust was flowed with a pipe. Also backed up on another bench, and flowed alittle higher everywhere.

Paid around $1400 to have them added to the 383 short-block he was already building for me. Just waiting on my intake and water pump housing to get back from the powdercoaters to put it all together. Should make good power with 15psi and a comp xfi 280 cam.
You might be able to get a port to work well with a LOT of velocity probing at a smaller runner size, but it's just not needed. The short turn and pushrod pinch velocities are going to be much much higher in a stroker than in a 350.
Either way... most people do not understand port velocity, even the major head companies and some of the guys who develop their ports.

And here are my flow #'s to add to the thread.

Keep in mind that my heads are the late model (96-97) and thinner 561 castings with 2.0/1.56 valves, and no pipe on the exhaust....

I don't know how it runs yet, but I will be finding out by the end of next month. Motor info is in my sig

These numbers look a little low, the reason for that is most all head porters post flow numbers produced on a 4.125 bore fixture. These numbers are from a 4.060 fixture, After they were milled, milled ALOT he he
