Those numbers are intake runner sizes, not flow numbers.
Correct and I stand corrected. Those are the intake runner sizes.

I'll have to take a look at your heads if you decide to have them done at WCCH next time I visit

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

You won't go wrong with either. Go with what your builder says or with extraneous factors such as customer service or availability. The heads themselves are equal. Don't over think this or get caught up in minor flow number differences. Also don't get caught up in minor dyno number differences either should you start comparing what other's engines have done when you get to that point. You're going to have a beast, you're using quality parts, and you're using a quality builder. The rest is out of your hands but you've covered your bases very well.

This is what Ron in SoCal basically told me in so many words. Thanks guys for all of your input.

Marcus,

I looked into the AllPro head in the past, when my engine was built. It was rather expensive for the cost. Allpro had special head for supercharged engines, but the cost would have been $5600 for a complete set of heads. I have talked to Mast in the past, but at the time they had no interest in building a supercharged engine in 2008.

Your engine builder is looking for a certain number, and it will vary on the engine size. That is how I ended up with the Livernois cylinder heads. WCCH couldn't do it in the past, because they was hand porting the heads.

Since my car is in Detroit getting more work done on it. I have my engine over at Thomson Automotive. So, last week, here is what I got to drive to feel the power of a supercharged engine. Brian is rather cool because he test out all these parts and gives you the best recommendation on them. Actually, he was one of the designers for the RHS block. Oh, I met Mark Stielow at Thomson Automotive. As you can see it is easy to light up the tires. The bigger supercharger will make more power, but you will have problems hooking up.

Jeff

Maaaan Jeff, that's gobs of power at the slightest touch of the pedal. What motor does Brian have in his Chevelle? Is it supercharged? Whatever it is, I know you cannot go wrong with Thomson Automotive. I've spoken to Brian a couple of times before. Sweet video by the way...thanks for posting.

LSX 454 with an LS9 supercharger. http://www.thomsonautomotive.com/chevelle.html Actually, he is talking about selling it now. That car is perfect.
