Good luck. The mighty flowed 113 heads at 195cfm. Are you really that dumb or are you just trying to prove you are?


Oops I have to edit, you will either throw a 200 hp shot of nitrous or a supercharger on with a 18 psi pulley. Yea you win.

yes, you're right they flowed at 195cfm - i also took the time to input the numbers at a complete range from .100 all the way through .600 lift into desktop dyno for both intake and exhaust sides. is desktop dyno the be all end all? no, but historically its been damn close if you at least put in head flow sheets and complete cam specs...i dont have to prove anything. many people have made 400hp with 113's - it doesnt take alot of effort but alot of other work would have to be done for it to happen. most likely everything short of a blower or nitrous...

the LT1 heads flowed "only" 214cfm - now 19cfm means alot...but PLENTY of people make 400hp with LT1 heads - what's so unrealistic about obtaining that with a 113 head?

I guess I screwed the pooch by pissing away 1239 bucks on a set of heads to make 20 more hp.

Keep pluggin away on that mighty desktop dyno.

Show me who has rwhp on this forum a set of stock NA 113 heads beyond 325rwhp with an auto or 340 rwhp with a stick. Please show me the plenty of people who have done this.

No, you didnt "screw the pooch"...you just did it the easy way. It is also the gateway to much higher power. More power can be made more easily and more reliable...i'm not saying your purchase was wrong...i am merely saying it is possible to make 400 crank hp with L98 heads...

Show me the masses that have done 325 auto 340 stick then. While I had my motor torn down to the shortblock I wasn't exactly saying "geez this is the easy way."
Unless you plan to have a totally shtty running street car because you threw a huge duration cam at it with crap heads, don't tell me you are going to pull 400hp with a set of 113s or 128 heads.
