Get flow charts. Look at the peak flow and valve lift that it occurs. For a good street motor, you want a lot of area under the curve. Flow should make good increases from .200" on up. What lift cam are you running? I don't think you could go wrong with 165 AFR's or Edelbrock Performers.
Velocity isn't shown but the smaller ports will have faster velocity. The bigger ports will flow up to .600" which you don't need. The exhaust is pretty much even.
