Yes Hank there was a run with a stock 194 head and a 250 and after 1200 or so rpm the 250 head out performed the 194 head. The problem if you look a sectional view is poor port design, the 194's have thinner head surfce metal to start with, which is why they are more prone to cracks near the front 2 cylinders. Granted with some porting and valve work they can make a good head but if you start with the 250 head and do the same work you are still better off. That was part of the reason I wanted to see the dyno results and paid to help Tom out. There were a few other surprises there as to where the torque and power was made comparing the cams and heads that dispelled a few more urban myths.
