Capri if that is all they will do, then that is it. This is the kind of information I am needing to make a decision. Let us not forget that they started at 154 so that is a good improvement. I would love to hear some better numbers but?

Key words being "289 heads" Kip had "special" 289 heads..............

Heres the flow sheets on Kips 289 heads. Tested on a SF 600 sealed 4.00 bore @ 28 inches. I also have a (289) flow test from another well know Super Stock head porter as well peaking @ 215 CFM.

I stand corrected peak flow was 217 not 219 @ 28 inches

I have a little hope after seeing these numbers, I wonder what/whose cam was installed?

Is anyone up to this post?

With 3000 views I would have thought that more people would have responded.

Don't take it that people are being rude, but do bear in mind that most people in class racing have a limit on how much info they are willing to divulge particularly in the area of heads and manifolds. I get calls from people quizzing me about my combo, I am willing to discuss the general info but I'm not going to discuss the fine points. There is a reason why the Pro Stock boys cover up their intakes and do their best to block off their pit areas. Personally, I think people roaming around during teardowns is not OK either, people work hard on their combos and allowing people to randomly snoop is not acceptable.

Really don't see what more you would need to know, you've got the flow test from the fastest 289 Ford SS/L on the planet........I wouldn't worry about more opinions, I'd just get to work. You also know it made 467 HP @ 7400 RPM STP on a SF dyno. First hand information.

Word is bond !! Thats really impressive for a 289 head !! What you need is a D 1 carburetor !! that picked some up about 3 tenths 25 years ago !! some have special "heads" n others got "special" carbs !!
