Cylinder head work

But thats why the M3 got the Best Flowing head and the S2000 has the second best flowing head and those aren't Domestics.
On the flowbench I used mt stock Evo 8 head flowed 214 cfm. On the same flow bench my stock Honda b16 head flowed 251cfm and a B18 Type R ported head flowed 297cfm after porting we ended up with 247 cfm from my Evo 8 head after porting. Now the turbo spools quicker and the response is mutch better than before, top gear pulls like a freight train now.

finally, my cylinder head is getting installed. hopefully it will be done by tomorrow. i usually wait for 500 miles, change my oil again then i'll be able to run it hard.
and that question about the cam grind, its 274/274 (no that's not a typo). i was told that once i hit 3000 rpms, it will be an animal! we'll see...

I am also curious on the results, cause I am looking at Garage-Defeat to do this for my car, but also thinking of doing the bottom end as well, because the block doesn't need much else other than the pistons and rods it won't be a fortune and I can send it all at once so I can support the heads huge 9k+ revs.
They also talked me out of wanting to do the stroking, not in a negative way he went over the pro's and con's. Dan was definetly helpful and awaiting some information as we speak.
