Nice work and I have no doubt your numbers are good judging from the amont of work I see in the shots. Also you have your base numbers for comparison which always make it easier to compare flow numbers to other benches.

What has always been interesting to me is hardly anyone talks about wet flow and that if you consider a (for example) 12:1 A/F ratio at 300cfm, 7.6 or so percent (or 23 cfm of that 300) is displaced by the Liquid Fuel in suspension and fuel doesn't always act or swirl around in the port exactly the same way that air can or does. Also everyone understands say 300 CFM for port comparison but how many think about that intake valve being shut for around 2/3'rds of that minute?

Even the more we know, we still learn more from "cause and effect." I've seen similar epoxy mods that picks up the airflow big on the flow bench but don't always correlate to a proportional increase in power. Also a port that doesn't work well with a carb may work extremely well with port injection (related to that very reason).

Ryan said something very insightful (I'm paraphrasing) that he doesn't neccessarily concentrate on the flow on the bench so much if you know from experience where to port to pick up the power...in the end that's really the bottom line becuase nobody races flowbenches

Take your intake duration at .050 and divide that by 720, take that fraction and multiply it by 60, that's how many seconds per minute your intake valve is actually open....and Unless I missed something that is constant regardless of RPM i use this to compare 2 cams @ .050 and .0200 becuase it gives you a 'real world" relative percentage comparison from one to the other.
