Default Flow Bench in the NW?

Anyone know who might have a flow bench in the NW? I just got my 5.3s and want to get some base line #s

Next step will be to get the intake valves sized up and start looking for a cam

Somers Machine here in Vancouver, Wa has one. I've used them for flow testing on many occasions. Talk to Dennis, he's the cylinder head guy at that shop unless you find one more local to ya.

John Haskell in Puyallup is an awesome guy and his bench is calibrated where if flows within 1 or 2 CFM or what Air Flow Research's bench does. His number is 848-1628.

lol, **** w/ the way things are going, I may not get into the shop for another month. With work, grad school, and a few other things I'm working on, the next 11s Vette isn't coming until april/may. The first step is getting out of Chicago, and back to Seattle.

Steve Hanneford at Progressive Auto in University Place might flow them for you. He is closest and worth knowing. He usually does multivalve head work and R&D but his flowbench works for anything. 565 3633

Ellis has access to flatbed delivery and return transportation. Come on, man! Take one for the team... or just for me! You've got to get it on!

Without my Vette running I can't put the H2 in for the turbo....
