Long valves on W2's with .600 lift?

You watched the second test? Did the operator use an intake orifice plate and an exhaust tube?
Yes, I watched the second test. He used a ring of clay around the intake port that was about 3/4” thick. No exhaust pipe was used.

What did the previous porter use?
Not sure what the the original porter used, if anything. What made me suspicious initially was when I went to pick up the heads, I asked about the flow sheet. He said “Oh yeah, almost forgot.” He then proceeded to whip out a notebook and began to write all the numbers down without looking at anything else. Now either he had a photographic memory or he was pulling numbers out his ***.
I did physically see he had a Superflow bench in the corner and it was lit up and looked operational.

Now what confuses me is during the second flow test, he had the lift cranked to .700 and was digging around in the port with these little dingle balls on a stick trying to figure out if the guy just hogged them out too far. The dingle ball didn’t make much difference but a couple times he put the tip of his thumb near the edge of the port window and the flow jumped to 305ish. What’s the deal with that?
