Hell, might as well put on a 850 or 1000 cfm demon!

I completely agree with you on this point. except to say those heads were actually designed for the TBI trucks. They were looking for more torque and mpg for the trucks thats why they were designed this way.

Once again I agree with you. but the man did not build a high performance engine looking for hp. He said he researched those heads, if he truly did, then he would have found that they were best for low rpm torque, exactly what you would need for a daily driven truck with big tires and 3.08's. There is a reason the put L98 heads on corvettes and Low rpm swirl ports on trucks!
