>>>Can you provide some additional context, i.e. compare those numbers with 
standard 351C heads, CHI, C302B, and any others that are known?

Also, I presume that flow numbers can translate into horsepower, but is 
there a linear relationship?   Can a head flow TOO well, such that the engine 
only works at higher rpm?   (That was always the armchair criticism of the 
351C--that the 4V ports were too large to produce good power results with only 
351 inches at moderate rpm levels).

Right now we've got (some) data.   What we need is information, which is 
different. :>)

Thanks!

Mike
