my dads friend has a flowmeter
my dad is making molds for it to fit honda heads and we are goiing to start doing port jobs. the machinist has the SAME exact machines as portflow but we will be charging 400-600 not 900 and it will only take 2-3 weeks. and it will be proven. we have the flowmeter machine to test out how well the newly ported heads flow so you can see the results.
my dad is done with the molds. all i need is a bare LS head and bare vtec head for doners. i will be doing the assembling and dissasembling of the heads and will be delievering/pickup from the machinist. thats why it will be so cheap.
ill let everyone know once we get this set up and ill post the results of the flowcharts for a stock head/our head/and portflow ill guarenntee we can do almost the same job as them as we have the same tools.
better get more than one of each head, there is a massive room for error in honda heads, they flow very well from the factory, if your machinist thinks he can do it just because he has had success with a domestic head, he is sorely mistaken. Chances are he may get it to flow more volume, but people will lose power because you lose velocity.
There is a reason Portflow does cookie cutter heads, it's too damn expensive for them to r&d a head for a specific application, so they do a mild p&p with a valve job and some other small stuff that yields a smaller gain in every case. there are only a fiew places that do true custom head work that know what they are doing, and they are the only people I will ever recommend for honda head work.
