Andy I was going to use the SV intake, had it here....but TF sent me this one and after measuring it up against the SV, it's about .250 in area larger than the SV in the plenum, very clean plenum transitions, and slightly shorter runners. So it was a no brainer really, less work for me, and I really wanted to see if it would make the power. It did!

Thanks Dwayne, I was concerned with it making anything over 750HP given the constraints of this build (stock ex. placement was one of them). I did however not leave the heads alone....I did a bunch of sonic testing on the ports, and had TF supply me with engineering info on the water jackets in the head.
I added a 2.25 hollow stem intake valve, changed the valve job, and did some porting to them. Andy, I believe I know the reason why you say this head likes a certain kind of cam timing, and after reworking the heads, I think I was able to remove that sensitivity issue.
