Anyone flowbench the trickflow 190 heads yet???

I for one have learned a lot about head flow numbers in the past few years. So to say flow numbers don't mean anything certainly isn't true. It's just like any other spec. A comparison. Looking at it as it makes no difference, you may as well not ask about camshaft specs, valve spring specs, what compression ratio this piston makes with what head........Everyone here in the mainstream of posters shares information. I have a couple extra added to my list now though.

I agree but i think what is trying to be said....or maybe i should just say. I .
I have made this statement many time but i will post it up again......wish i could remember the porters name.......The one that sells Pipe Max software......
any how, he ported two different sets of heads both had the same cross sectional area, both flowed the same CFM and there was a 100 HP difference. Between the two heads.
Two head with the same cfm, But are not even in the same ballpark.
keep that in mind when they say numbers are not that important.
They are! but you can chase yourself down that big cfm rat hole path if you are only thinking cfm.

EDIT let me clarify both set of head were identical in every way before porting then. I made it sound like to different style or brands. no identical heads.
