Thanks for the data (it's now in my archive).

What I can find on the Vortec castings is from CHP:

OOPS! I clipped off the valve lifts from the chart.

The first line is 0.050",then 0.100", 0.200", 0.300", 0.400", 0.500", then 0.600". Sorry about that. I couldn't find the actual specification in the article, but they used a SuperFlow bench to test a bunch of heads at once, and the common PD is 28" WC.

wow i had heard that vortecs flow every bit as well as ported camel humps, but i didnt think that they would blow the camel humps out of the water. i guess my first upgrade will probably be vortecs or fast burns
