Who are they ported by? Why are you trying to get them flowed?

Jason I bought those heads that were for sale a few months back in the classifieds. The guy said a local shop ported them. They have 2.02/1.60 valves, the runners were not cc'd but they are bigger than stock. They were just flowed at a shop out here. I don't know if the guy relaying me info read the flow sheet wrong but at 550 lift he told me they flowed 223/195. The intake flow should be around 270. If those numbers hold up I want them flowed at a different shop. There is no way with the port work and those valves that I gained 11 cfm over stock. These heads were ported for a 385 running nitrous.

EDIT: flow was supposedly 227/195 at .555 lift, im hoping they meant 272/195

So you bought them without reciepts or flowsheets? I wouldn't have done that, unless it was a very reputable head porter and the heads were branded with that company's logo.

My stock heads were shot, and these came fully assembled with patriot gold extremes. For 600 it was a hell of a deal considering I sold my stock heads for 100 and the springs would have been 250. But don't you agree that number seems low?
