I did not. I wanted to, but by the time the car owner got the heads back from the machine shop and told me about it, they were literally already on the engine. As well, my flow bench, scales and other tools had already been moved out from XX Tuning's shop and into my new workshop I'm renting.

I did do some testing on the ported exhaust ports (w/o the oversized valves installed) while trying to balance the exhaust flow, but only jotted them on a scrap of paper. I never made a true 'flow chart' for my records, since we were pressed for time, and I wasn't trying for max flow, just balance between cylinders.

I will document every step of this new buildup with flow testing and photos. I find it's easier to forward such info to interested parties rather than have to write an essay every time I get asked 'how'd you do it?'.
