Flow data tested at 28inHg, 4.125" bore. Intake measured with radius; exhaust measured without pipe.

Important Note: Static flow numbers should not be the only benchmark. Real-world engine dynamics involve pulsed air/fuel movement. The Smeding 11° heads outperform competitor 12° designs across the entire dyno curve by minimizing turbulence and maximizing efficiency.
