Re: flow numbers ?
 

I would like to know how much air flow to make 600 plus hp with 041 heads

Re: flow numbers ?
 

If you don't have 260cfm @28" you are not close. And $5000.

Re: flow numbers ?
 

257, 597,hp. 485 lb.tq.

Thanks Stocker.

Re: flow numbers ?
 

You might do better asking if someone would PM you some of that info....

Re: flow numbers ?
 

any info sent in a pm would be good too. thanks for the suggestion.

Re: flow numbers ?
 

There is more to getting that power level than a peak number.
I can show you the flow numbers from 2 different heads and one has a higher peak number, but the head with the lower peak number makes a lot more power. I have the dyno results, too. One head combination kicks the others butt by having a much higher average from .100 to peak. There are some programs that will give you numbers that are available on the net. The key to that statement is: "will give you numbers". I like the idea of asking the question. Interesting answers.

Oh!

Re: flow numbers ?
 

So you should be able make good power if you have over 260 cfm with a good bottom end.

Re: flow numbers ?
 

It always seems to tickle me when anyone asks for a average number for head flow or, what should an average 255hp 350 S/S engine make on the dyno. You would think people have asked for nude photos of your mom , or pics of little henry lol. For sure if I had found an additional 20hp I sure as hell would not tell that I have found it or what I changed to get it! As Adger said flow numbers don't tell the while story, or does a wicked peak hp number make a car quick when when the engine is a turd in the midrange. It would be nice to get some average numbers to know if you are in the ball park. Don Jackson

Don avg on a set off 461s 205, this is average set. Jim Hanig 200 to 700 lift.

Re: flow numbers ?
 

Thanks for all the good info guys

Re: flow numbers ?
 

I agree. Mid lift numbers are very important since the lift curve sees them on both sides (opening and closing) and more time is spent there than at peak.
