Stock I believe the intakes flow about 320 at .6. Heres a nice set of oval ports that are mildly ported, fresh ready to go. $2195.00 or best offer.

I have a set I am going to pull off my motor. I am going to take & have flowed when I get them off next week. Looks like friday before I get my AFR's flowed. I am wanting to do a comparison between the 2 sets. I was told (see thread on common lies) by the engine builder that he had ported them. I have found out the other things he has told me were wrong so I do not think he touched these heads. I will make a new post when I get them done.

If you put on heads with to big of runner ports you will hurt the performance on the motor . Big runners for big cubic motors !!
