Most people reference magazine numbers or advertising numbers as bible facts, they make big numbers to sell parts or sell magazines, most of those numbers have nothing to do with reality, until the vehicle hits the drag strip those are really the only numbers that actually matter in the real world. I watch your videos because even if your flow numbers are down from unported you still report them, because for the most part you make flow improvement and you tell the whole story, not just the fluff
Flow #'s don't mean much by themselves. People buying a flow # are showing their ignorance to a large degree. It's the shape, the port flow characteristics, and the entire package that makes HP & torque and is unique for every engine. If everyone is building 383 SBC's with 11:1 CR we could get more specific with valve size, port volume etc.
Providing a service without pride in that service is a red flag! Eric, from everything I've seen on your channel...Being HONEST when it's NOT a positive look, is what separates you from the average. If anyone has a problem with you taking a comment personally, doesn't understand what integrity is! Stay true to who you are. Tell it how it is, and f--- those who lack the appreciation for your efforts. Have a great day.
I use an SF600 bench and I have never had any head flow what any of them advertise. Trick flow and AFR seem to be the closest and some are just waaayyy off the mark. But more than flow numbers is the flow quality. I have had some heads actually surge my bench from the port backing up. People who have never run a flow bench have no fkn clue what they are talking about.
Eric Weingartner has talked a lot about cylinder head flow numbers from magazines and manufacturers. They all greatly exaggerate their numbers. People may want to go back and look at the videos from last year.
I actually enjoy listening to you about your son. I love being dad and it brings joy to my day when you talk about your kiddo. Now I love the rants even when I disagree. But I agree on this one
Are you going to do a direct comparison with the Afr 385 heads before you put 1.8 rockers on the intake? Just to see what the direct comparison is? I think the Afr is still going to do better but that’s why you test lol
RE losing a flow bench race lol How many times in the last 40 yrs ( about the life span of CNC heads) have we seen this B.S.? Sadly this is not the last flow bench race you will lose.More sad? lol Most amateur racers will not believe your low/ REAL flow bench data. I think you have excellent F.B. equipment. I think your#s are very real.
I am not going to argue about tipping, the people that deserve the tips I don’t mind tipping, I agree about tipping at counter service, I try to avoid it also, the counter servers make more money than waiters or waitresses. I work for a defense contractor and a bunch of people I work with wait tables on the weekend into their 40’s and 50’s because they can walk at the end of the night with $350 to $500 on tips, no joke. That server is making more money than most of their customers for their shift.
Eric, on simple clear glass salt and pepper shakers, if you look at closely at the bottom, you'll see a rough, bumpy surface. Those are not to keep them from sliding on the table but to help you get salt or pepper out of them. You hold whichever you want with the holes facing your food and the bumps face up. Then use the other one facing up and rub them together back and forth. The vibration you get will give you usually more salt or pepper than just shaking them. This may not be on all of the but almost always on smaller ones you find in nicer restaurants. Just saying................ Hope you have a great week. Can't wait to hear about it.
Agreed in American and Europe both have their upside and downsides. Americans are usually short sighted and motivated for the quick buck over long term success. But then again salary employees in the US are expected to be available for far more hours than they are paid for and in right to work States are free to fire you for you for no reason which could be not working optional OT. As for short term gains look at credit card debt and how much Americans have put away for retirement. If you're old and working wait staff long hopefully it is in a vacaton town or high end restaurant. I don't know the middle ground but we could learn from others.
When someone says "everybody else does it like this or like that" IF it's worthy of a response I tell them to think outside the box like Bill Grumpy Jenkins Ed Iskenderian etc. Don't fall into the average zone lol. Great videos.
I will say this now you mentioned about people making high flow numbers thing saying his is accurate kinda thing. So I gotta say when I sent this heads to you and honestly I didn't know you until UA-cam or any porter really until I really got into it on UA-cam and Facebook so when I sent the heads to you my I know 1 guy saying you sent your heads to a UA-cam guy really oh man never heard of him and my local machine shop guy was mad he goes I can port heads and he doesn't have a flow bench and I have seen some of his heads have way to big of throats and I can get into it more. But yeah people were judging you just because your on UA-cam I could argue with them more but you know people like to stick with there old school ways and can't change their minds. And price to they go omg I could of done better for cheaper and my thought way oh yeah making a head flows worse than stock for one and another think parts and shipping were involved to and other porters can be more expensive. So just a rank I had to bring up when you mentioned people talking about your flow bench if you want me to talk more about I will be happy to talk about it more in the phone or whatever. And last thing my engine is faster now yeah everything was changed but yeah it's definitely faster
GREAT JOB ON MOTOR 540. WHEN I GET SOME MONEY AGAIN I WILL HIT YOU UP FOR THE RECIPE..IS THE CAM LOBE FOR DRAG RACE ONLY OR WILL IT LIVE FOR SOME STREET DRIVE ING ??
Yeah tipping sucks I swear everywhere I go now they ask for tipping and rarely I tip because long term that's a lot of money lost because of tipping so I keep seeing memes about people who didn't tip or didn't tip much the delivery guy they just get mad and throw your food I go really don't you get paid to deliver and get you want to get mad over to tipping god. And salt thing I know what your talking but for some reason I never dealt with that the restaurant I least went to they had there normal salt on the side on the table your sitting at so maybe I am lucky there I don't know. Crazy stuff
Obviously that guy dosent know shit, who cares what the other benches read. your bench is a tool that you use to tell you if your work is making flow better.
I have never seen an out of the box head match their advertised flow numbers, my understanding is they advertise the port they developed not the port as cast or cnc.
Hey Eric, What's your turnaround time right now on doing a set of heads? I'm looking at having you do a full port and polish job, and install new springs and valves too.
You would have to email him about the heads and ask him when you can send the heads I ask him when I can send mind he says bring it over it but for sure email him for sure email him and let him know before you send them
He's actually working with Promaxx to develop a nice CNC ported BBM head based of of Eric's own port design. He did a video on them a while back. They look promising.

Flow benches are like dynos, no 2 are the same and they are tools to go faster not brag about results.

Dam 900 hp on the 540 way more than I thought

I'd contact Steven Sun, pretty sure he casts all these castings offshore. He will definitely honor the unsatisfactory work 👍👍👍
Hey Eric! This is off topic for this video but do you think you could make a video of cam specs? but mostly cam timing? Also more sb mopar the better!
I'd love to hear Eric's philosophy on cam timing as well.

What size of hard would use on a 498 thst red line at 7500
Question. Will ambient air temperature and humidity affect the readings you get from flowbench in cfm
No. Not from an orfice bench.

If you run a weiand tram better safely wire thru bolts lost a good 400sbc . Never again not me.eldebrock is better intake and no bolts inside 😊
The salt shaker rant came out of left field. Hilarious.
Tipping does not exist in Australia because we have a legislated living wage law.
GREAT JOB ON MOTOR 540. WHEN I GET SOME MONEY AGAIN I WILL HIT YOU UP FOR THE RECIPE..IS THE CAM LOBE FOR DRAG RACE ONLY OR WILL IT LIVE FOR SOME STREET DRIVE ING ??

I bet the hushmat name will wipe right off with lacquer thinner. Try one small piece.
The ranting is Epic leaving the best for last. I'm a avid watcher
sea salt is regular salt lol its just bigger. NaCl is NaCl regardless of the source. funny rant i was laughing the whole time lmao
Great progress on the Dyno motors. Can you flow heads under boost?
I am looking at the stealth ram base and it hurts my head looking at the ports biased the wrong way
I can't believe how far off your bench is dude 😅😅😅
That’s why I never pay with a credit card at a restaurant, cash only
i love the redundant electronics, as an EE even we dont trust electronics all the time lmao
They shouldn't have been that way about those those seats.
Sounds like the seats are made from a sintered material

Great video! I trust you more than anyone on you tube! Like you said you could lie and make more money short term, but the payday of sin always comes…
I agree he is very honest with his work
👍 Thanks for the videos.
People put to much stock on high flow #s anyway. There is more to it then how high the # is.
Sure you can make crappy hp with high flow numbers but you can not make big hp with low flow numbers.
Looking to build a 493 or 499 Chrysler stroker!! Any chance of getting a video on big block Chrysler heads?
He would but, they're rarely sent in to have done or be tested.
He's actually working with Promaxx to develop a nice CNC ported BBM head based of of Eric's own port design. He did a video on them a while back. They look promising.
Awesome keep up the good work, 91 octane testing?
Only on 496. 540 was 110
Natural immunity, lol
If you're willing to touch any saltshaker in a restaurant without rubber gloves, you really don't have much to complain about.
I’m not putting all of both hands on a regular salt shaker.
Salt is a natural germ killer for what that’s worth
ROFLMAO
