If I were to bet $10,000 that they are the same..do you think that I would win, Tom? Wish that I could tell you though. I have a USDM head on my shelf and a JDM head on my engine. However, I haven't had them side-by-side on the bench. Sorry, buddy.

Yours is an interesting question. I always just ASSUMED that Evo long blocks per se were identical across the board for the different world market versions, that is JDM, USDM, Euro Market, Latin American versions, Asian Market, and etc., for any given model within each respective generation. That is, for example, all Evo VIII's have a "world head". But that was just my assumption. I just always figured that the actual cylinder head design and casting was the same across the board.

I am sure he is wondering so he can finish a build for a customer. I know he has a motor being put together and why not ask to see if anyone knows and if the customer would want one he can get one for the motor. And Tom I would say there about identical. I know when I had my jdm motor for my talon I had 2 heads done and they were idential in flow rates. I can see the 2 evo heads being the same way.

If the flow rates are better then a usdm one, it doesn't matter. When you keep the stock angles which possibly flow better then the usdm and clean them up and smooth out the casting it will flow just as good if not better being the head was designed. It is like taking a 2g dsm head and putting it on a 1g car. Ported 1g head is great, but a ported 2g head being it is better flowing performs better. Ask Curt Brown about that and how it works he can explain it better then I can.

your response is not necessary. and this information is for a customer. yes you should feel bad now. that was an extremely rude response on your behalf not knowing why i need the information and not knowing the work load i have over here..
and yes i will be tuning AGAIN this entire weekend.. now if that's not dedication then what is?
