Flow test of my afr 280 heads and cam questions Empty Flow test of my afr 280 heads and cam questions

I had a local shop do some work on my afr 280 heads and they wanted to flow test them .The shop is engine systems in Tucker Ga. They have been doing 460s for quite some time.Intake .200-165.9 .300-256.3 .400-319.5 .500-357.3 .600-364.4 .700-360.4 .800-358.5 .900-363.0 Exhaust .200-102.6 .300-158.5 .400-203.1 .500-241.3 .600-257.9 .700-265.8 No pipe on the exhaust .And play dough around the intake port .So how would you all cam these heads for a drag car application? With my math at .600 the ex flows 71% of the intake not to bad from what little I know .And since intake flow drops after .600 is there much need to go over .600-.650 lift there?Just wanting some different opinions and ideas .Doug santa

Call up Bullett cams. Those guys are easy to talk to and will give you great feedback. They will need rpm cubic inch weight...ect. I think you would be somewhere close to 700 lift. Duration and lobe sep will be dependent on usage

Dave I will ask them about a camshaft mainly I just want everyone to see these flow results from an independent source .From memory they seem to be close to AFRs Hope you all had a pleasant Christmas .Doug

Pretty much similar to a bowl ported SCJ head.

.650" or so lift intake would probably be fine.
