Look here before buying those heads

The link below is LOADED with head flow data!!!! While air flow is not the sole consideration for buying a head,,, it's a big one. Comparisons to my own library of head flow data, yield similar results - one conflict is the Vortec head flow seems to be over rated in the 1st flow page (although that's what all the magazines seem to quote),,, Vortec flow in flow test 2 and 4 is more like it (different flow bench,, different readings)

Happy head hunting - (It loads a little slow,, but worth it) - Scroll down to the "Head Flows" http://everythingnova.homestead.com/index.html

I have the CHP articles scanned in on my site. Looks like that is where most of his numbers came from. Its best to compare heads flowed under the same circumstances which CHP is tring to do. They have a part 3 of the Flow to Go series which I dont have scanned in yet.
