A rebuilt head, adapter plate, inlet nozzle, and gaskets have been waiting in my vehicle for the e mail telling me to bring them down which I received this morning. Round one is to determine baseline flow in stock form so that improvement can be documented and it seems odd to me that there is no evidence of this ever being done before. The estimates I have are 165 – 170 CFM @ 28” DP .

Personally I agree with those who have told me they think the only lump of potential benefit would be on the back wall but they also remind me the flow bench is very good at shooting down theories and providing surprises at what does end up best. If anyone has any suggestions or theories about a lump of some form between the throat and bowls I am willing to have it tested and provide feedback/credit for it. Recently I read that this board is for sharing thoughts and ideas but am beginning to have doubts that very many actually feel that way. Thanks for any input.
