Anyone seen this months Popular Hot Rodding issue? The did a feature on SAM's engine they built for the Engine Master challenge. In it they say that they should have gone with a larger port and valve, they feel it would have gave them more low end power (they were running the smallest ports and intake valves out of the top 6 finalist and had the third highest peak power in the competition). Kaase used the same heads he used on his 507 Pontiac on this years 434 and he almost won it. There is more to how and where an engine will make power than just port size or cfm.
