I keep learning more and more tricks every few months and as a few mentioned, I stumbled across a VERY important change several months back and another VERY important one a few weeks back.
As far as flow #'s go, you can see my take on that in the above post. Most people are happy with a $1300 set of heads that have a flow sheet in the 270/190 range and come with Ferrea 6000 valves and bee hive springs. If you have a set of heads that I have done in the past 5 months, you just need to take them to a local shop and se what "their" bench says. .
They can tell you if they flow 270 cfm, 290 cfm or somewhere in between. You will NOT be disapointed.
Regardless, they know what a stock LT1 and the typical ported LT1 head flows on "their" bench so they can confirm they are a good flowing head and will be blown away when you tell them the price.
A higher depression test would show the port is SUPER quiet and remains stable under these conditions. Some people are amazed that the flow #'s keep climbing after .550 lift (and .600) and while some think this is useless, anyone that understands much of what was in the above post by 96Capricemgr will surely agree that it is.
Not everyone inflates their #'s on the flow sheet provided and I have had a few emails and calls from people (most on this board) wandering why they are getting much HIGHER flow #'s from my LT1 stuff than the flow sheet provided.
I am about a month away from a price increase and the heads will start coming with flow sheets that are closer to their "actual" flow. A few people on here know that I have been sand bagging my flow charts for a while. The new things that I do to the heads are taking alot more time to do and therefore a price increase is required but just keep watching the dyno #'s with my stuff and they will more than warrant the extra $100.
Once again, flow #'s are just along for the ride and the way the car performs is the main thing to be concerned with. There are plenty of people that can confirm that they are happy with the way their cars run (not only their the flow sheet) with my stuff.

Glad to hear the update Lloyd. I remember back when I got my heads first done 3 yrs ago and they flowed 272 peak and with my small Joe O. cam(220/226) ran a 11.71 at 116.7 with a mild stall and most of the bolt ons. I can only imagine what the heads now are doing with a good bigger Bret B. cam.
