(or the valve is small enough to not need the help)?
How wide did you make the seat?
From what others experienced with Pontiac's mimicking sbf flow characteristics, I thought the buick would follow suit. Apparently not!
Excellent, keep it going, let's see what the exh needs!

I wouldn't say my angles are optimum, but I was happy with my gains from the previous setup. The 45 was .040 wide. Its important to note the engine as run as tested (474 HP) in this thread had flow numbers @ 28" of
.200 131.9
.300 185
.400 211.7
Which leads me to this: 176 CFM @ 28" through the intake manifold @ .400 lift, which makes me wonder if there is lofting of the valve involved as mentioned by a friend?
