Thumbs up

You gotta love Mike at High Flow! Your intake #`s is better than mine and a smaller head should have more velocity.. I don`t like this at all!!!
Can`t wait to see what they dyno at, should be a killer combo.



Mike, these things are not going to install themselves, stop thinking about a 509 and EQ heads

That should be a nice combo! I am interested to see how that dyno's. My next boat engine refresh will be very similar to this plan except possibly efi.

I must say; I'm pretty impressed with those numbers.... Alex; told me last week, that was a decent head out of the box....
Cast iron port work, not very fun at all....

Joe, No back cut....... Laziness.... just imagine someone taking the time to dye the valve and lap it to find the edge, then grind the valve at 30 degrees...

Still havent got a total on that.

Also, fwiw, flowed with no pipe on exhaust.
