I DONT THINK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN REAL TIME... EVEN IDLE AT 500 RPM IT WOULD CYCLE OVER 8 TIMES IN ONE SECOND..... WHAT ID LIKE TO SEE IS DETONATION IN CYLINDER CAM.... SLOW MO

It's really interesting to watch how the air flows in around the intake valve. Now I really understand what the significance is of unshrouding valves.

There is a lot of talk about increasing valve size to gain more flow. On the other hand, the closer you put the edge of the valve to the cylinder wall, the more the wall blocks airflow. This is my understanding anyway. I have seen a lot of discussion about putting smaller bore heads (like the 5.3's or LS1/LS6) onto larger bore engines to avoid that. At least that's my understanding anyway. I don't know how it translates into increased airflow, but that's what I have gathered from everything I have read. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
