1st flow test. These are very similar to what I did in the 90's for the old work truck's 355 that I still drive. Not spectacular but close to Vortec bowtie flows.

Re: Ported Chevy 083 heads, the tpi project
With 1st cut on head I started flowing parts of the tpi manifold to determine where the restrictions are. Stock tpi base knocked flow @.5" to 208 cfm, stock tpi tubes added 193 cfm, aftermarket siamese runners 183 cfm all with clay radius.

Re: Ported Chevy 083 heads, the tpi project
Ported stock tpi runners bring flow @.5" to 200.5 cfm, ported aftermarket runners 190 cfm. The aftermarket runners are full of restrictive bulges. You will need a good sonic to get a decent shape. Stock tpi runners has very little metal to remove.

After and before tpi plenum. This needs lots of work for the aftermarket throttle body this project will have.

Re: Ported Chevy 083 heads, the tpi project
What did the stock head flow?
Stock head with stock base?
Stock head with stock base and stock tubes?
The work looks good.

Somewhat handy with a die grinder.

Re: Ported Chevy 083 heads, the tpi project
I knew it would all get some work so I wasted no time flowing stock heads. I doubt they flow much above 200 cfm which seems a bit more than the stock system will flow. Thanks, Charlie

Do you have a decent single plane and carb you could try on it?
