Hey Chad,
With the base exits ported to a 1205 port, what kind of cfm per runner did you end up with out of this? And what do you think you could have got if welding around the injector bosses was done to allow a larger cross section at the bend right near the port exit? I have seen a few na cars with 383,406 and super ram, good heads make some wicked tq numbers, an# still manage just under 450 hp. For a heavy car, pr low stall and stock gears that would make for a fun street deal.
