On another note, how do you go about telling a customer that what he just paid for from one of the most well known builders in the country is not up to your standards and im going to charge you more money


So I flowed these 6.1 heads that came my way just for my own curiosity. As they were with a Manley 2.1" valve from a well known CNC shop on a 4.06" bore @ 28"
.1 68.2
.2 124.5
.3 181.4
.4 231
.5 282
.55 298
.6 310
.7 317

Seeing this I measured the throat and it was really small somewhere around 86.5% or something. I took a 70 deg stone and went to town and bumped the throat to a more normal 90% AND..

.1 76
.2 142
.3 205
.4 231
.5 295
.55 307
.6 318
.65 326
.7 331

So now I tell the customer what they flowed before vs after and I wound up with the job to fix them. That's how I was able to upsell this time. It also explained the poor chassis dyno performance to a degree. J.Rob


6.1 head is a bit different than eagles and apache. I port the 6.1 and eagle/apache 2 different ways. Thats really sad you had to do that but it is what it is for your customers sake. How often do you have the dress the stone when doing that. That degree just doesnt last long for me
