Message through a stock head with 3 angle valve job....

- And at .1 inches of exhaust lift;
open exhaust ports (free air) flows 75.6 cf/min @ 28inches of mercury
stock exhaust manifold flows 63.61 cf/min " " " "
stock hand ported manifold flows 67.5 cf/min " " " "
greg dupree tubular manifold flows 73.41 cf/min " " " "

- at .2 inches of exhaust lift;
open exhaust ports (free air) flows 144.82 cf/min @ 28inches of mercury
stock exhaust manifold flows 95.09 cf/min " " " "
stock hand ported manifold flows 93.12 cf/min " " " "
greg dupree tubular manifold flows 136.77 cf/min " " " "

- at .3 inches of exhaust lift
open exhaust ports (free air) flows 163.7 cf/min @ 28inches of mercury
stock exhaust manifold flows 99.6 cf/min " " " "
stock hand ported manifold flows 99.6 cf/min " " " "
greg dupree tubular manifold flows 148.18 cf/min " " " "

- at .4 inches of exhaust lift
open exhaust ports (free air) flows 178.28 cf/min @ 28inches of mercury
stock exhaust manifold flows 101.0 cf/min " " " "
stock hand ported manifold flows 101.8 cf/min " " " "
greg dupree tubular manifold flows 150.8 cf/min " " " "

in summary,
stock manifolds have a total loss of flow of 133%
hand ported stock manifolds have a total loss of flow of 128%
greg duprees tubular manifolds have a total loss of flow of only 33%.
(percentage can be seen as "lacks effeciency", higher = worst)

the greddy tubular manifolds come in at a low 21% and
pentroof manifolds are 13%

Just doesn't seem worth the time to me :\

Got this info from nixit

Thanks,
