Agreed flow #'s do mean shit, Anyone can port a intake or head to push out CFM, now to retain velocity is a different ball game. If theres too much volume the air speed slows down. Buy me a Super Victor and watch my car fall on its face.

Like Nick said, flow #'s are only part of it. Whats the use of so much flow if the heads cant handle it? Now you turned your intake into a bottle neck.
I look at heads based off chamber design, intake/exhaust port sizes, Min/Max CSA, etc. Theres a lot more to it IMO. You also have to look into how big the motor is, compression, cam profile and crap. Some heads and intakes work better with different cams.
