Going back to idle after long freeway runs would result in large plumes of smoke, and not from valve cover leaks, and they were new. KRE's for me. If they fixed the oil problem, and I don't mean having to put some ridiculous tube running out of the back of the head, they would be a good head.

Real experience, I know a very basic 300 cfm E-Head 455 engine will make over 850 HP at only 13 psi of boost on Steve Morris Dyno and could easily have made 1000 hp. Steve routinely has 3000 HP engines on that dyno.
Real experience says a basic Butler ported standard port width head can make 620 hp all day long without any expert porter skill.
