John Marcella said: "I believe I can make well over 1000 hp with the CV head with only porting and maybe a little weld, no moving anything."
I keep seeing the Letter "I", I means John Marcella.
This means IF JOHN MARCELLA DOES THE WORK, HE COULD MAKE WELL OVER 1000 HP. You guys seem to be skipping over that IMPORTANT POINT. Where does it say "Joe Bubba" or his porter can make the same horsepower?
You posted: "A 1000+ hp head (in the right hands and there MAY BE more than one pair of hands that can accomplish said task)" MAY BE? You don't really know do you?
You are HOPING that a Bill or a Calvin can give you that magic Port Job. Bill is on version #20+ of his head, where is the big horsepower head? Is Bill or Calvin going to have the head that matches Marcella's projected HP number in 6 months, 2 years, 5 years?
You guys are dreaming again
After you get the head, it still has to go down the track. In 5 years, you will still be 5 years behind.
Marcella said HE COULD DO IT, I did not read that Joe Bubba could.

Ok Pay some BIG Bucks and Get your buddy Darin Morgan to kick out a set of heads for you and then copy them.
A story I heard down at Wilson's shop:
Jack Roush tried that deal with Intakes for his NASCAR stuff. Was paying Keith Wilson to do them. The story goes, Jack gets a couple of intakes from Wilson, copies them, puts them on the track, and they do not work. His expert porters missed something. So eventually Jack sends the intakes down to Wilson to be "fixed".
When he gets the bill the intakes cost the same as a normal Wilson part but the Intakes work.
So Jack says why are they the same price, as new, when all you had to do was FIX THEM.
Wilson say, your crap is over in the corner, those are my intakes.
You see the difference? Probably you will never get it.
