In my case yes - and in the case of several other PRO teams Dave supports I would say yes as well...

Dave would give numbers, but out of respect for me and Phil, whom requested that our flow numbers not be posted cause we race our cars,he will not...All I would say is these heads are being run on the worlds fastest Nissan over at Performance,so apperently they work.. Dave has a far more proven track record at making heads than anyone on this board and his work is flawless and speaks for itself. Im sure Dave will post some more detailed specs on a set he does for retail, but as of now the heads he has done are for people who race for a living and dont like to give up to many of their specs, and keep their secrets close to the vest.. I am sure you understand..
I will however post a Dyno when my car is back together and tuned in about 2 weeks..

2000+ posts, asking a question like that and calling yourself a n00b? You are joking, right?

I appologize for not being able to disclose flow numbers with this post, but I respect my customers and wouldn't jeprodize my relationship with the good people and race teams that have asked me to do work for them, in return of the sometimes ego driven flow sheet debate. I don't feel the need to prove myself, more sport compact race teams have used, won, set records with my heads then anyone in my recent memory..
I have stated that I have done only a few sets of the VQ, one was the outragous Rubio(Performance Motorsport) monster street car,in the begining... but I NO longer do there heads, as they now do that in house with the help of my good friend Vinny Ten.
I have done two sets for Philthy and one set for MRC..all of which would not like there flow numbers broadcasted on the forum..but, I promise there will be flow numbers available with different stages in the very near future. I am purchasing a few sets for this purpose.
There is always a customer specific head design in my book, not everyone needs a cookie cutter CNC design, they want something that will optimize there combination..and that is what HeadGames is good at. My shop doesn't just "shine" a set of heads..this is not "Johnies feed and speed" this is HeadGames..we do work for some badass people because we are badass people. Our stuff makes power, I can guarantee that.

Id imagine that these heads work and are more suited FI...It probably wont be worth it for an NA application right? Thats pretty much what I was told by an engine builder when I did my KLZE na motor up..I did a 3 angle valve job anyway. Never got to see the results as the motor blew up due to bad tuner....Still looking for that ****

Those are the intake ports. They have to be rough for good fuel/air atomization. Exhausts are polished like mirrors.
