Muscle Motors recommended it. They said CNC SR will make the power I want at a lower RPM.


Another very similar and good perspective/story here:

The heads were 210 CC's on the intake port as delivered from Indy and measured 213cc's after Jeff sent them back to me.
I bought a set of Indy Hi-Po heads, they feature a 2.4" intake valve and the I take port measures 266cc's. I had them flowed locally and the intake went 443 corrected@.700. (his bench couldn't do them at .800).
IMO the Hi-Po heads will make at least 100 more hp than my 426 SR's but for my current package they aren't a very good fit. They have poor port velocity down low and my torque numbers suffer drastically. They want lots of rpm to work and the hp peak was north of 7000.


That's on a 600+ CI combination using very long intake runners as well.
Food for thought.
Whatever Dave tells you, you can take it to the bank.
