i had my sr,s flowed today. i had them checked because my 572-13,s did not flow as advertised. i bought theese from indy.
indy says they flow:
.200 I 162 E 121
.300 216 166
.400 274 205
.500 324 239
.600 351 260
.700 355 263

my shop had them flowed:
.100 I 77.6 E 61.6
.200 150.7 116.8
.300 213.5 154.2
.400 274.5 185
.500 320 211.3
.600 350 230.5
.700 367 244.8
.800 365 254.3
theese were with a 6"x2" pipe and radiused clay on the intake port.
the intakes were very close,the exhaust down about 10 cfm.i was suprised because my 572-13,s were way off.they only flowed 388 @.800.down about 15-20 cfm from advertised.
so i guess 295 cc runners with 15*valve angle flow within 20 cfm of 365 cc with 13* valve angle,and ALOT more $$$. i would say the sr,s are a good deal.....

I just sold a set of good flowing Indy SR heads that flowed similar to the numbers you posted.
My understanding is that the measured flow is only one part of the equation it has been explained to me that the limitation of the SR's is a limited cross sectional area to the port. Following this logic it is possible that 365 cfm flow from an SR may not equal the same power potential as 365 CFM flowing 572 head on a big cubic inch engine ? Basically while high port velocity is desirable , too mcuh of a good thing can be bad.
However low rpm performance would be much better with the SR due to the higher velocity.
Feel free to correct me if yousee things differently.
By no means do I profess to be an expert, only a student.
I do agree the SR's are a good deal.

kenny with indy told me about the exact same thing.

I suscribe to that theory as well and I also think the SR head is still the best bang for the buck overall for BB Mopars.

Respectively, what size bores were used on the SR's and the 572-13's?

if you are talking about the flow bench,they tested both heads with a 4.5" bore fixture.

Those are good numbers, just wondering what their CNC 440-1s would flow on the same bench.

Is that the bore size they'll actually be used on?

the only reason i checked them,was because my 572-13,s did not flow what they should have. both heads were flow checked on the same bench.the sr,s got real close to what indy says they should flow.but not the 572-13,s.they were down 15-20 cfm.

the sr,s are going on a 4.375 bore.i would think it would loose a little flow on the smaller bore size.but probably not to much.
