Message	Those flow numbers are not of someone with porting skills. I gained 100lbs of tq at 4500 rpms with porting and Greg Dupree pipes and was all over Bernie on his tq curve. I have stock cams and heads. He doesn't AFAIK. I don't think you can do better with 2530's than a stock manifold ported. MSR (I think) did bernies and they are doing the welds (not sure if they did this on his) and totally flow more than stock. I have talked to Malice and he agreed the porting wasn't all that great. I will be on the dyno again in the next week or so and should be able to show the full potential of ported stock manifolds with stock heads and cams. They aren't as bad as everyone says.
