as always awesome work tony!! remember you need to calibrate every day sometimes multiple times depending on the weather. always make sure there are no leaks,some people use a cork pad some a foam pad. either way just be sure to have it sealed to the machine. as always use a radiused inlet .prefurably the same one as that can change flow quite a bit. I tried studs and stuff on the ex side but it didnt change much at all. but I do think atleast a 4"-6" long stub wouldn't hurt and may keep some turbulence out of the port that wouldn't e thee when running. some people use strings to see what the flow is doing, pr a smoke probe, but remember probes can change whats is really going on...and show you something that may not be there. Ive even seen valves with built in probes going down through the stem. a lot can be learned with a flow bench and a lot of good parts kept good parts as you know the rong port work can make a expensive head...junk. keep up the great work !! I miss having a flowbench as well as balancer.
