Were the ARDUN heads flow tested?

Yes. Steve could not find anyone with existing data, so he had one port flow tested in Phoenix by someone with a flow bench who made adapters to fit the head. It was done at discrete valve lifts, about five or six points on intake and exhaust. He used the data in his computer models, whose power predictions came out essentially right on, and offers to share it.
