This is the same port as the other two tests from earlier(#1).

Lift------intake flow
.100----71
.200---146
.300---211
.400---254
.500---277
.600---285
.700---290

Here are some intake port volumes to give an idea of how much work is involved to get from one level to the next. I didn't check the OOTB port volume, but the bowl blend only removes a couple of CC's worth of material.

Recut seats, blend bowls = 210cc
Open pinch to 1.140, narrow guide boss = 217cc
MCH full CNC ported and valve job = 252cc

On an Edelbrock head, if you do a basic port and polish it'll flow right at about 300cfm, and those ports are usually in the 228-230cc range.




Inches of vacuum when tested?
