Initial flow-bench results are in .........
Inlet @ .500" lift = 304cfm
Inlet @ .600" lift = 310cfm

310cfm = ~450hp

To get our planned 500hp, we need 340cfm @ .600" lift ... so the porting tools are now out !!!!

Focus needs to be on both inlet and exhaust porting to get to where we need to be.

For anyone looking at NA VQ engines, there is no way you can flow enough air to support more than 440-450hp at the crank ......... regardless of inlet manifold - the heads simply will not support more flow than that.
badthing, hooey_b and 260DET#1 like this.

Talking

So, about 400hp at the rear wheels, if that.

How much you think you will have to open up the ports?
