Yes I did and congrats in your airflow achievements! But like you said, those little variations is what make the difference between your hand port and my CNC.
The little variations of hand ported bowls are astronomical compared to CNC ported bowls, You have 6 different ports I have 6 equals ports.
Good job! |

iirc the variations were fairly minimal, like 5-6 CFM difference. But like you said, CNC gets them all equal, and they look pretty. So good job to you! Apologies for being critical about your CNC work, I just can jusitify 700 bucks for a set of heads that only flow moderatly better than untouched heads. but then again, theres no aftermarket for the irons.

Free market-if your product is better or more preferable than the market will adjust or the vendor will.
I do the same thing,build for personal and sell when I want.
But if I can take someone else's idea and make it better,it doesn't detract from them.
They are only selling thier improvements on a previous product as well.

Actually, I thought Francis, due to medical conditions was not making any products anymore...
...I might be in the market for another set of headers within the next year...preferably pre-JETT-coated...

I'm pretty sure Trueleo is still on hiatus. Besides, competition is a good thing. It drives people to improve.

Yep, when someone has the market cornered, they dictate and inflate prices.
La Fiera, if you want take a look at powerheads.com. They find SBF E7 heads and CNC port them, add some goodies like SS valves and other hardware, and turn them around for 750ish. That was a few years ago, though. But those are V8 heads, likely requiring more window watching time, and more hardware for around the same price you offered. Something to think about.

This is Lou's thread right? Sorry Lou for hijacking. When are you going to dyno your car?
Or you can get your hands on a set of these!

Same iron heads but more flow. The first set we did with the stock valves out flowed of the Falconer heads. I have those in my Fiero now.
http://ncfiero.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18
Scroll down and look at the CNC port work pictures.
My Super Stock heads are $700 + shipping and this is what you get (exchange program only).
Super Stock Head $700
-CNC port work
-3 angle valve job
-Spring seat machined to accept SBC springs (ANY spring available for SBC you can use)
-Shaved to achieve the highest compression without compromising the geometry.
-Shroud combustion chamber to eliminate hot spots.
Flow Data
@ 28 inH2o
Intake
200=59
300=113
400=173
500=182
Exhaust
200=37
300=132
400=130
500=133
Race Head
-Same as the Super Stock but with:
1.85 intake & 1.50 exhaust valves (Don't know how much this will be yet)
Flow Data will be available soon!
I'm in the process of building a 3.4 but unlike yours I'm using a solid lifter flat tappet camshaft.
Here is the 2.8 screaming:

Oh im sorry I didnt mean to get in the way of you pitching your CNC heads buddy. And if you're not sure...Yes, this is Lou's thread, hence the "/hijack" in my previous post.
So where were we?
.....Oh yes, back on point.....
