If you feel your numbers are correct then ask yourself how your getting 97 cfm through a 2" valve and only 92 cfm through a 2.08 and how you are the only one in the industry or world for that matter that can get an impossible amount of air through a valve of that size at a .100 lift, as the valve size and seat dictate that flow not porting.
It could be your calculations.
Are you using a 45 degree seat or a 30?

Re: Camming a 409 sbc with small intake runner
Not being smart but the approach to the seat and the chamber shapes beyond the top valve seat angle and valve shrouding aren't a contributing factor in low lift flow? The LT1 heads are cut for and flowed on a 4.155 bore. Its a 45 degree seat.I've seen bosses that protrude in a port just beyond the push rod pinch that when removed increased low lift flow. Turbulence in the port up stream seems to affect how well the flow is using the circumference of the valve in instances that I've seen. But what do I know?GARY C wrote:If you feel your numbers are correct then ask yourself how your getting 97 cfm through a 2" valve and only 92 cfm through a 2.08 and how you are the only one in the industry or world for that matter that can get an impossible amount of air through a valve of that size at a .100 lift, as the valve size and seat dictate that flow not porting.

Re: Camming a 409 sbc with small intake runner
Yes they do but not at.100 lift where flow is almost totally controlled by valve seat alone and not to the tune of 20 cfm, 78 cfm is not unheard of, i have some 2.08's that flow that and occasionally and some guys get 80 cfm with a lot of seat testing... from .200 up chamber and unshrouding plays a big part.Not being smart but the approach to the seat and the chamber shapes beyond the top valve seat angle and valve shrouding aren't a contributing factor in low lift flow?

Re: Camming a 409 sbc with small intake runner
Well I have checked my setup, checked calibration on bench, checked for leaks and today the 2 inch valve moved 95 cfm at. 100 lift. I will go as far as making a video but I'm sure it would still leave everyone suspicious. If it that impossible then ill be damned if i know whats going on.

Re: Camming a 409 sbc with small intake runner
It does not matter.. There is no way whatsoever period. unless the valve fell out in testing?GARY C wrote:If you feel your numbers are correct then ask yourself how your getting 97 cfm through a 2" valve and only 92 cfm through a 2.08 and how you are the only one in the industry or world for that matter that can get an impossible amount of air through a valve of that size at a .100 lift, as the valve size and seat dictate that flow not porting.

If you are so sure its impossible please enlighten me. You must have a detailed exclamation if you are that certain.
