Or it made less power.

Right, missed the increase part.

Wish it was as easy as you make it sound.

Everyone that has pulled heads and ported them to gain power is doing so to up the cfm flow not to change some wave characteristic .... when you add high ratio rockers and gain power why is it helping? More flow from peak lift? Changing cam specs? Or did it change the waveform?

You guys are so hung up on the cool idea of how to refine a engine you have forgotten the bread and butter of how it works most of the time .....

I have ported heads that flowed LESS and made a good bit more power. A Stage IV Chrysler is one example of an head like that.

Take a look at cgarb s 421 vs mine, our IVC are the same and his heads flow more than mine, why does mine make more power ?
If your theory about more cfm and later IVC always making more power is right, his should be making more.

Is the flow quality the same ? Does the intake support the flow ? Does the carb support the flow? Is the timing the same ? Is it having a burn problem with the fuel ? Was it tested differently?

What it shows is the potential of the engine power you can be lower if things are not correct ....

I posted lots of dyno tests where the HP was dead on

When you flow a head just because you hit a number does not mean the air is moving smooth and clean if it is rough on the bench it will stall on the motor ..
