I just don't get it.
Unfortunately, aside from some one-off race stuff, there arent a lot of real big flowing FE heads, but on the bright side for the street applications and smaller displacements, there also aren't any huge CSA or large volume heads either, so if you have flow, you probably have a very clean port, not a very large port.
What I don't like is someone "kills" low end with a Cobra by overcamming, then shifts at 5700, why bother living with a gumpy cam? Just push on the go pedal less, or regear, if the tires spin down low.

This thing is going to have a dual plane to boot. Low rpm power is not going to be an issue in this application. Getting it to make power out to a reasonable enough rpm to make some numbers that are worthy of not having to exaggerate about at cruise ins and car shows will be.
