[QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 66455, member: 25"] If it were me - I would find a shop with a wet flow bench and have the heads ported for maximum velocity and let the CFM number fall where ever they land..... but hey - I've always walked to the beat of a different drummer. There is just something to be said about non turbulent flow with all the eddy spots smoothed out to nothing. But that also adds some coin to the port job. I agree with Steve - worry about the intake side for a street truck - just mildly clean up the castings on the exhaust side and let it be. My next set of heads was going to be done by Joe Mondello - but he passed away a couple of months ago - supposedly the business is still going, and I hope the same passion for the job exists - but be cautious. [URL="http://www.mondello.com/index.htm"]Mondello Tech Center[/URL] - Joe was a great guy to talk to on the phone - he even offered classes on porting heads that myself and a couple of other diesel gear heads were talking about taking this winter - he had told us to bring down a half a dozen heads for the class of what we wanted done and by the time we left we would have things figured out on the wet bench to get us rolling. I don't know if that is even still an option anymore. [/QUOTE]
