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...
