Neather of these heads is very good (unported) compared to many newer engines.
Especially when you take into account you can get 400CFM out of LS7 heads with minor porting and they flow ~372cfm stock. All @ 28" of water.
Our heads are good for our engines however, since we are working with turbo'd setups and such small displacements, when you can get 300cfm, (ported) or very close to it, with usable lift it works.
I think the rule of thumb they thought us at the school I went to was roughly 250cfm for every 500HP you want to make. Or it roughly requires 250cfm to make 500HP when talking about N/A stuff.
Taking that into account, our Mustang motor made 900 to the flywheel N/A and it's heads flowed a little over 400cfm, revved to 9600 going through the traps and was just a hair under 400cid. So if we could have run better heads (We run the car in a class and are limited to what cyl. heads we can run.) that we could have gotten 500cfm out of then over 1000HP would have been easy. Also NHRA Pro Stock heads, winning ones at least and in the 650cfm range, and I think they are making ~1600HP with 11K RPM 500 CID big blocks.
Heads are fun!!:icon_mrgr
Sorry end OT/thread jack.
