Flow Bench for Cylinder Heads -- any place local?

Does anyone know of any shops around here that have a flow bench for testing cylinder head flow rates?

Naa. Might make one though. Think it could draw some business?

I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good investment as a stand alone unit. It would probably only be worth if you had a shop that ported heads and used it to prove the increased flow rate of your work.

Brian for what it is worth, I have been asking around about this for a while, and havent found anyone in the area with a flow bench.

However, I was thinking about it, and I am sure Patriot Performance would have a flow bench in thier shop. I dont know if they would do testing on heads but it might be worth the time to call them and see. Here is the contact info:

It would end up costing him more if he did that due to the fact of having to tool plates and stuff for different heads. Since they are mainly 4.6 and LS-1 oriented I doubt they would have the plates on hand to do a windsor head. I bet for the money they would charge he could just send the TEA for the same price or somewhere close to it.
