Ported Edelbrock versus W2 out of the box !

I was thinking....... what this place needs is someone else with an opinion........ so, I signed up!!

A couple things......

-it’s never a good idea to compare flow numbers from different benches as “apples to apples”.

-I don’t know how “ported” the E heads in the first post are....... but if that was a “high effort” job, I’d be looking for higher numbers than that......on my bench.
I also don’t like that big drop off on the intake at over .550 lift.
The exhaust numbers look “too good” for the intake numbers...... unless it was tested with a flow tube attached.

-Ootb w2’s....... every set I’ve seen had noticeably different port bias between left and right intake ports.
Ootb, #1 has always flowed more than #3 for me.
So, whether it flows 260 or 240 can easily just be the difference of which port was tested.
