My C302B heads do have strong exhaust flow (230 CFM on the exhaust side)
but I think the reason is that exhaust blows down quickly and any lift after
that is wasted. My engine builder was in favor of a shorter exhaust duration
as well.

I never had any problems with mine. I kinda liked the sound too. Not quite
a Thermoquad sound but pretty cool.

Thanks for the kind words.

I hadn't made plans yet. What usually happens is I get sent out to support
flight test and have to miss it. BTW, there's another Dan Jones in the
club from San Diego.
