Default Head flow numbers

We offer heads from 150 cfm @ 10" and up.
The peak flow numbers are nice to see, but mid-lift,(valve goes thru that area twice) and how quick they climb are VERY important.

Many things to consider here. The most important being valve sizes, percent of exhaust to intake flow ratios for good scavaging, and velocity. The numbers these guys are throwing out are pretty good for intake flow.
