Nice results! Any chance of seeing some flow numbers with a 3.90" bore?

I wouldnt recommend the 2.08 intake valve on a 3.9 bore. Too much valve shrouding. I do have the head in a 2.5 version for 1795.00
Pricing for these have not been finalized.

Could you comment on the intake runner size or velocity #'s if you used a j-hook. What kind of bench? Any correction #'s? Thx sj
