Default My heads are done

well I just got my flow numbers back from greg good. My heads flowed 340cfm @ .625 lift. Needless to say I'm very happy. The motor should be in my car on monday, tuned on tue, and on the street by wednesday. So i'm looking for pretty strong power numbers. I have every supporting bolt-on etc. The 408ci is 11:1 comp ratio so we will see.



Thomas

Thanks go to G-force, Eric, Greg Good.

You'll get 411rwhp. I'd peg it at around 450-460rwhp depending on the cam. Anyone think so?

lol. It should make about 520+rwhp. I was jokeing with that happy with mare than 411, blah blah blah. It is a 408ci with badass heads and a 240, 244, .615, .625 on a 115lsa. 450-460rwhp would be what I would be shooting for if it was a heads cam only car. I made the 411rwhp with an LS6 cam and ported heads. Needless to say the new setup will be much nastier

I was going to buy new heads, but greg is the **** and fixed my heads right.


When he got them they flowed 305cfm, because the valve job was so bad. If he had gotten them to flow 320cfm I would have been very happy. With the flow numbers he did get I'm floored . I can't say anything else other than I'm more than satisfied. Also talk about fast Greg whipped these bad boys out in under two weeks.

I tried to get ahold of Greg Good a while back (last year) and couldn't get a return call. Can you post his contact info?
