Flow sheet/fixture for flowing heads? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

cuisinartvette · 03-11-2010

About to start tearing down a 5k mile LT5 I sold to the guy that bought my Z last yr. Will have a full P&P, externally polished, going to grind the cams etc.

I have never seen a flow sheet on these and may have to make a fixture if I cant find one.

I do want to fully document this before and after to see what the gains truly are at all levels.

Anyone?

Post pictures and results.
I also would be interested to see the outcome.

Will do Pete. May go as far to play with a sonic tester just to see whats there to work with (sure you already know that one).

Will take pics, before flowing/after porting at all levels, not solely peak. More than likely Ill be doing the flowing up at AFR and have Tony man the helm on that one. Going to play around with the valve job, too.

Should be interesting. Just have to make a fixture for the intake, a sim pipe for the exhaust shouldnt hurt either. Not sure about the intake...be working from the airhorn/TB back.

If anything there may be some info for the owners of stockers so they know what theors go for curiosities sake.

I thought when I sold my Vettes I was done with all this, too. lol

Work should start here within a week or so.
Thanks to those that have offered help so far.

surprised that the people that have paid huge money for their LT5s dont get this with their builds.

Paging Carter and the guy (A26B??) who sells gaskets/little stuff.
