Default LS1 Head Flow Numbers ??? (numbers now posted)

Does anyone know what the stock LS1 heads flow? What I'm looking for is flow in cfm at various valve lifts...

Febuarys Hot Rod magazine on page 58 has an artical on the LS1/LS6 heads with flow numbers at various lifts.

I will have you some flow numbers I measured about a year ago on stock LS1 and LS6 heads using my Superflow SF400 flowbench. I believe peak intake flow for the LS1 and LS6 were 225 and 250 CFM @ 28in respectively.

If the forum search worked properly then you could find a post made by j-rod or jmx, I believe, that contained a spreadsheet of stock and ported LS1 and LS6 heads with flow numbers at various lifts :banghead:

Oh, I thought you were just razzing a newbie! :)

Yup, I just seached on "j-rod" in the archives and found it toward the bottom:

Your welcome! :thumbs:

BTW, is your C5 steet legal? So did you have any trouble passing smog in CA? I was kinda wondering how big a cam you could use and still pass the sniffer test...

I replaced the Blackwing with the stock airbox prior to the test as the Blackwing does not have a CARB#. At 2500 RPM the meter said 0. At idle the result was slightly above average but far less than maximum allowed.

A 224/224 on a 114 LSA should pass with a margin of safety provided it is tuned and the engine is in good shape.
