Now you know, happy to help. Lloyd Creek did his first heads, wet flow with 212 CFM if I remember correctly, set the first record with those, then reset the record with his own heads. Kips engine was very simple to some degree, the clutch....not so much. I'd be happy to tell you what I know about the engine.

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 will tell you that my brother worked a lot with Kip when putting together his 289 combo a few years back. Straight from Kip's mouth his quickest ET 289 heads only flowed 195ish.. I can't remember at what lift he said that was at, but he said he had a lot of heads he did that flowed bigger numbers but none we as fast as that particular set.. there is WAY more to having a better head that straight flow numbers. It's an easy barometer to know if your in the ball game but just because you can get a head to peak out 20 cfm higher at it's best doesn't make it a better head that the lower flow one...
