Default GT40 3bar head porting and flow numbers.

215/168 @ 400-450 lift... .28" flowing from .1 through .6 lift but mostly interested in low/mid ranges (above .2)

Question was for those that have actually ported GT40 (non-p) heads. I understand that the idea is to achieve the most increased flow by removing the least amount of material...the question is...where is that location @ that gives the best flow results...is it the intake port/throat/bowl or exhaust port/throat/bowl?

That is a bizarre question imo, because the intake and ex are separate.

The intake obviously, naturally flows more than the ex, so even if you port the exhaust, the intake will still flow more.

This means that porting the intake will provide greater flow than porting the ex.

If one were to port one area or another of either the in or ex, the biggest increase in flow is typically achieved by properly porting the bowl, blending the valve guide and doing a 3 angle valve job.
