Head Flow Data @ 28inHg, 4.125" Bore, Intake w/ Radius, Exhaust w/o Pipe

It MUST be noted that comparing flow data across different flow benches and cylinder heads is NOT the correct way to measure a cylinder head's performance. A flow bench measures static air flow while the engine's valve is at a stationary position. In the real world, the valve nor the air in the cylinder head's runner is ever stationary. The air/fuel mixture is constantly being pushed, pulled & pulsed by the pistons & other cylinder's valve events. A well performing cylinder head must be able to respond to the valve opening and efficiently deliver the air/fuel mixture that the engine is requiring, while also keeping turbulence to a minimum. This is where the Smeding 11° design is unbeatable. On the dyno these heads will out perform other manufacture's 12° designs, even though they advertise higher flow numbers. Below is a dyno comparison of our 11° 260cc CNC cylinder heads vs a competitors 12° CNC 260cc cylinder heads. The test engine was a mild 11.0:1 441" LS engine with our 245/256 Rectangle Port R4 Stroker camshaft. Both dyno pulls were done the same day, with both tunes optimized for each combination. As you can see the 11° Smeding heads outperformed the 12° competitor's heads across the entire curve.
