A clear demonstration of the misunderstanding of how engines are designed and how mis information runs wild!! Even to the extent that exhaust numbers really matter that much... too funny, I appreciate the laugh. Glad we can have some humor in a flow thread!Perhaps VT should give Sonny a call and straighten him out!!!
I'll be back, going to breath into a small paper bag, I can't stop laughing...
Great post CV!!!

"Why did he build it like that? He'll make more power with a proven combo."
or
"Who is Sonny Leonard? I've never heard of him -- he's not a forum vendor, is he?"

Just doing a bit of math -- the valve inlet flow area of that head is almost 10 square inches (9.76 to be exact).
To put that in perspective, the inlet flow area of a 2.05 intake valve at 0.600 lift is 3.86 square inches ......
I would LOVE to be able to see the parts used to build this bad boy in person.

I've had the pleasure of being around one of his creations and it was top notch! The parts are amazing and in some cases, custom made for that engine (you could almost beat someone up with the connecting rod out of one of these things). It's nice though, they have gotten cheaper! Several years back a 704 cubic inch version came through and that was a $75,000 deal with the 800+ version being over $100,000. It's cool that you can get into one of the big ones now for a little less. If you want to go fast; it's worth every penny!

Another clear example of you spinning out of control in a cylinder head thread and attacking the merits of fellow forum members is more like it.
The OPs title to this thread was "flow numbers beat these" and that's ALL he said......nothing about building engines, making power, VE, combustion chamber shape etc etc etc.....
So where's the misinformation you're crying about?
Perhaps VT should give Sonny a call and straighten him out!!!
"AFR" was typed in a thread.
Geez dude, let up already and relax.
