The Brodix -10 (23 degree heads) flows 262/166 @0.600". RHS Pro Action cast iron 235's flow 292/191 @0.600" (14 degree heads). I would think you'd have to be turnin' 8500 though, to pull air through 'em with any kind of velocity to fill the cylinders. That would require more cam than I showed in the 700 hp DynoSim. Jerry and Pat, what do you think?
