The last set of fully ported iron D port heads I did for a 400 motor flowed 280 cfm and the motor made 580 hp and I could have got them to flow more but the heads had previously been ported and material was taken out that I needed to allow them to top the 280 cfm level.

If you start off with a vergin set of D ports and someone who knows how to port them up right ( there are some 6 or 7 people in the country that can do that) then with your motors CID, as I said 600 hp can be had.

In a motor like yours I would also not run a roller Cam as a solid lifter Cam can Crank the valves open faster ad add that last 5 to 10 hp that will give you the needed reserve edge in power!
