KA Head Flow Rates
Half Cut
http://a986.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...c7f9023a79.jpg Bench Flow Test Valve Lift / CFM Intake: .100" = 99.3 .200" = 171.1 .300" = 223.4 .400" = 241.8 .500" = 243.6 Exhaust: .100" = 75.8 .200" = 144.5 .300" = 173.9 .400" = 182.9 .500" = 183.6

I'm assuming the flow bench test on the bottom is stock flow rate... Is this correct?

Yeah, the top one had a Flow Bench error, so I need to remove it

Stickied!
I need this info for some before and after flow bench results on the head work I am about to do. You can tell that flow can be a little better with the KA head at 99.3 CFM/ per .100" of lift it should have a CFM closer to 98~100CFM. Exhaust seems to be small diameter sizes for smog and scavaging reasons. I would bet that very little head work needs to be done to the KA and it would have to do more with the valve diameter. I bet just a .040 diameter increase on intake and exhaust would make those CFM numbers go way up! |
Would it be smart to do a minor port and polish job and over size Int. valves .5mm over and exhaust .7mm over? or would that just not make sense, I figured this since the exhaust size doesn't flow so well.
Seems like 10mm of lift is optimal :) |

Seems like 10mm of lift is optimal :) I don't see why you wouldn't just do a .5mm all around, and enlarge the runners on the exhaust a tad more. Attachment 17717Attachment 17718 |
OK makes sense :)
added some more head info |
