OK, gotta question here... according to my reading, if you can get 2 heads
to flow the exact same numbers (230cfm) at say, 28"... one having a 153cc
intake port w/ a 1.97" valve, and the other having a 180cc port w/ a 1.92
valve, the head with the 153cc port is better because it will have a higher
intake velocity. IS THIS CORRECT??? OR does the intake valve size change
this theory because according to hughes engines this is the way it works....
NOW if you look in the 2001 MP catalog, the 2 heads I just compared were the
stock ported mag heads and the R/T heads... the stock ported being the
better head. How and Why is this??
