Let me also reiterate that while my bench is calibrated to flow 592cfm in range 6 that is to do so at 25"....if I were deliberately trying to mislead I would base my calculations off of that info....AT THE VERY LEAST...and not bother with the .997 correction factor for flow capacity when flowing at 28".....while not a lot it would gain me some 'flow' but if the numbers aren't genuine I really don't see the point....in the past I had even posted some results that seemed positive BEFORE I verified as I was a bit happy to have them....only to realize why, at that time the gain occurred, and once that issue was corrected and the results proven not actual I deleted that post....I have since ACTUALLY gotten to that point and maybe even a but more but at that time the post was not accurate and was therefore immediately removed....




i'm not going to get into a debate on what your heads could or couldnt flow.
if i had one on my bench....whatever that number was would be what they flowed as far as i was concerned.

i do have one question though about your .997 correction factor and how you're applying it.

are you flowing at 25" and correcting to 28", or are you flowing at 28"?

the reason i ask is, the correction factor from 25" to 28" isnt .997(which i'm sure you know), so i'm just wondering where it fits into the equation.

My Stage V big valve heads fully CNC ported flow +500.
Don't have the exact # because I don't have the charts yet.

W-9's ported with a conservative approach and an eye towards mid lift flow #'s. I think they'll work O.K.
The whole motor is a series of compromises since it was built with stuff that was available and affordable over a couple - three year window.
It should have a bigger bore ( it's 4.125 " ), but that could change in the future. It could sure stand more cam ( 260 / 250 @ .050 and .668 lift ) , and it might like a bigger carb too.
But the time slip will be the final arbiter here.
This is the first time I have had a set of heads done up for me , but this is also the most motor I have ever attempted to screw together too......I didn't trust myself to home port them and had too much $$ on the table to risk messing them up.
I think I'll be happy with the end result.
If not , there is always a plan "B".

W-9.. CNC ported then touched up... 365 at .700...
small lift and to big of duration cam and small bores
but it is what it is... it doesnt break anything

Well FWIW my B1MC's top out at 452-457cfm, on three different benches over the years. The 99's are at 590 at 1.000". The -1's for the street car are at 370. All of these are hand ported heads no CNC stuff. B1's by Mike Duke,99's by Schumacher racing then Mike Duke.

This has been a subject of other posts on here but I am working on a w9 port design that right now flows upwards of 445@.850" and very near 470@1.00. Velocity down the port is near 325-335 and about 260ish through the throat....port volume around 300cc....still a work in process...




when you stated this,,,,, and then saying 95-96% throat respective to valve size,,, though you never said what your valve size cause its top secret,, but assuming 2.250-2.300,, implys an mca of 2.8-3.0

really its just simple math,, unless what you have stated is incorrect

Not following your math....if you are figuring the throat as the MCA then assuming a 2.25 valve its area would be 3.974...with a 95% throat the gross area would be 3.775 less valve stem area of .0923(assuming an 11/32 valve) for a net area at the throat of 3.683....if you are figuring the MCA to be elsewhere down the port it could be any size irrespective of these dimensions.....working backward.....with a flow of 450 and an MCA of 3.00 calculated velocity would be 357fps....

By my math.....it has an AVERAGE CA of around 3.56....

V(in fpm)/cfm/12......should get you close....

260/330=.787878

.787878 x 3.683 = 2.90

now thats in general,,, but if you have velocities at those two points,,, and have area at one of those points,, you can "guess" at what the area is at the other

This is turning into an informative post if you get through the B.S. Quite a few people who know thier stuff are posting. I wont post any of my stuff, its decent I guess but not tops.As some else has said we dont race flow benches or dynos. The numbers dont lie on the time slip.

Your math is kind of right but you are going the wrong way.....as the CA decreases in size the velocity will increase.....ie. too large of a port equals low airspeed...so while the two airspeeds can be expressed as a percentage of one another the calculations need to be reversed to figure CA
V is cfm/A(sq ft)/60

So with a 3.687 CA
V is 450cfm/(3.687/144)/60
V is 450cfm/.026/60
V is 288 fps

With a 2.90 CA
V is 450cfm/(2.9/144)/60
V is 450cfm/.0201/60
V is 373

Given these speeds....2.90 is roughly 78% of 3.687 and 288 is roughly 78% of 373

so you are figuring out what your velocity is based on math and your airflow,, not the actual measured velocity in the port....


i usually try to stick to actual numbers that i can see and measure

sorry for any confusion,, back to your regular scheduled program....

With this formula and some creative math you can take the velocity and figure CA....

CA is V(ft per min)/cfm. /12

CA is 320(60) /450
12
CA is 19200/450
12

CA is 42.666/12

CA is 3.56 given 450cfm and 320fps

so now youre saying you have pretty much the same cross section at two places in the port, but the airspeed differs 60-70 fps at those two places?????

No...that is just how numbers fell out using 450 cfm and a 2.25 valve and the 78% ratio you got from the airspeeds......
