Anyplace where he should try next? suggestions?

They flow claims and stuff like that always seems to be on the happy side from all what I hear over here, but oh well....I guess they cant be that bad! They have been in business for quite a while now...

For the CNC'd stuff (definitely more expensive), Hughes CNC'd Victors are worth looking into. I haven't gotten my engine running w/ them, yet, but all indications are they should make good power. Search back a couple of years for my posts on mine tested on other flow benches to see some unbiased numbers.

I know benches are all over the map and LaRoy does good work but would like some backup to those numbers. I do not intend to start any bashing. ONLY looking for some verification. Damon

I flowed 2 separate sets (compared to others here who have had multiple sets done) of Jeff's heads on 2 different benches and Jeff's numbers were within 1 cfm of his sheets. I'm sure some hand porters can come close or maybe match his numbers, but for cost, flow, and consistency Jeff is tough to beat. I guess that makes me a MCH n*thugger... Jeff's turnaround time is the only downside. The best are always in demand...

Two months prior to that they only made 726 HP at 600 rpm/sec on Comp Cams Dyno. The heads flowed 287-291 cfm out of the box. The Edelbrock Performer RPM 440 test head on 3/15/2012, .100"......75 .200".....152 .300".....216 .400".....265 .500".....301 .550".....322 .600".....333 .650".....342 .700".....350 .750".....354

I won't use his name, but the drivers initials were Jim LaRoy. He had to replace the transmission AND some valves in the engine after a 2.00/60', 11.30/127mph pass. Poor guy vowed to never race again until the car had an automatic in it. Last edited by heyoldguy; 03/31/12 10:50 AM.
