Who flows head around here? What is the average rate? Is anyone doing the extrude hone thing anymore? Reason I am asking is the heads I have now on my ride have been on a 95 Cobra that made 450rwhp http://www.netwizards.net/~thndr50/video/cobra_m.mpg)but I want to match a cam for the heads. I am assuming to accurately get a cam I have to know the head flow.

You're welcome, damnit. Looks like they are local to you. And yes, head flow would make the cam choice much more accurate.

I am trying to get the most of what I have. Id rather spend the money to get the right parts and not choose an off the shelf cam that doesnt do anything but make noise. Too many people in this business offer too much bad advise. Here are the flow numbers-this is the engine...make me a cam for it. Done.

this is a quote straight from their website
quote:
Our primary concern is to grind the optimal camshaft for your engine. We do not mass produce a series of camshafts and have you pick one that is about right. Our intention is to grind a camshaft that is exactly right. With this in mind, it is almost against our philosophy to produce a catalog.
if you want to stop by and talk to them they're at 53 Perry Street Redwood City, CA 94063, just off broadway between the train tracks and el camino.
