Velocity. There's a good article in this months NMRA race pages about Livernois working with a set of 3 valve heads. Alot of times guys will add material to the port to keep the port volume down, while opening up another area. You did a good job with those heads, but if you opened up the ports to 225cc (not possible on that head), then its not that great.
Just compare the dyno numbers between a set of GT40X (~170cc) heads to that of AFR-165 heads wich have less port volume.
