PORT VOLUME-IS BIGGER BETTER OR IS LARGER LESS? Richard Holdener

Which of these seems the most wrong?....
1. 408 mopar stroker with 170 cc. Rpm heads
2. 302 Ford with 225 cc. Cnc ported heads
3. 396 Chevy (big block) with 316 cc. heads, stock, that flow 325 cfm.
4. 440 mopar with stock heads that flow around 220cfm, if they are pretty good ones (215 cc.? 235cc.?)

Everyone knows the 396 is a pos and loses to 155cc headed 340 in stock class.

440 do better with less gear than say a hemi... hemi need more gear, big port volume.
