dick miller exhaust plates

had a head flow test done on a b head .
1. fitted with a dick miller exhaust plate
2. without the plate

The graphs for each followed each other plus/minus 1.6 % to the .38 lift mark. At this point a divergence started to appear. At .5 lift 145 v 160. At .55 lift 150 vs 170. At .6 lift 150 vs 170 also.

The interesting part is that the Dick miller plates were the lesser figure so go figure!!

While you were flowing that head how did it do on the intake side?
