The stock heads flow:

(164 @ .500" - Stock)

How does that compare to the 1.72" or 1.94" siamesed head?

1.72" intake valve stock head.Numbers By Tlowe
050" lift 27.3 cfm
.100" lift 52 cfm
.200" lift 103 cfm
.300" lift 149.5 cfm
.400" lift 164.6 cfm
.500" lift 168.5 cfm

Expect the same airflow on 1987-1995 SBC truck heads ,those are the worse heads for flow,,but even w/that bad aiflow,my Syclone has run 12.0 in the 1/4,just goes to show,when you are forcing air through highly restrictive cyl heads, it's still possible to run OK.
Side note,,guys w/there Syclones swapped to better flowing 1996 & newer Vortec heads & run approx 1/2 second faster in the 1/4 mile,so good flowing heads,are a must if you want to go fast.

Just a quick reference
