My Porsche mechanic used to do a lot of flow testing on heads and he said it is NOT obvious what changes will do until you actually measure them. He said the biggest thing was "shrouded" area which is the area around the valves where flow is blocked due to proximity to other surfaces. You get pressure areas that are not at all obvious.

Kind of like people thinking that adding headers or a K&N is ALWAYS a good thing....
