Yea, i know that. But now it wont be such a rare thing to see that. I mean you dont see a WHOLE lot of 2v mustangs north of 800hp. And i mean all the cars you ever hear about a 4v cars. Rarely ever do you hear a big stink about a 2v. We will now compete directly with 4v cars.

thats because 4v heads flow so much more, i doubt the r heads will flow 330 cfm 4v will always have the leading edge.

your original flowchart showed some upper end turbulence, was this issue corrected or was it a misprint on the sheet?

Well first off...4v heads flow 238cfm stock on the intake side...only stage 3 ported 4v heads will run 330cfm. Not many people put that money and effort into porting the 4v heads cus they already flow amazing. So i mean you cant really do much with the design with the 4v heads so i dont see a new head design coming out for them.

you do know there are at least 4 different types of 4v castings so saying 4v heads flow xxx is a generalization. 238cfm isn't amazing if you think so you need to step out of the modular world for a second. i would consider a completely redesigned/engineered head to take a little more money and effort than simply porting a factory designed head.

I would love to see some more newly designed stuff for these motors...but there simply isnt the drive to do it. I mean trickflow is probably gonna be the only one to make an aftermarket head for the 2v and its probably gonna stop there for mustang heads. I mean i wish we could have a honda engineer design us some heads cus there are like no other heads that flow as good as honda heads do for ohc motors. We just need some heads that flow well.

No it is not saturated. I have seen CNC'd numbers but I am not able to post them at this time.
