Appreciate the comment. My point was more to where flow number and dyno readings are just numbers that can’t really be taken for more than numbers until a car goes down the track.
and example of what I mean…Ryan ported a set of W5 heads for me, the numbers he got out of them he had posted on his website back then. They were, in my opinion, rather optimistic.
the heads ended up on two other benches over time, one was Best machine, the other I won’t mention, but he is a well known Mopar guru.
On neither bench did they get over 300.
that said, ultimately they went low 9.6’s at over 3200 pounds at 140
did you ever follow up with either set of those Indybrocks to see what the cars they went in ultimately ran?
to me that would be the most useful info. I get it that not all cars run what they should, but I also get that most cars ultimately get close enough to draw conclusions from. Very few serious builds remain dogs forever
