From my past experiences I see nothing impressive about bolting on a set of ported aluminum heads and a hydraulic roller cam and running mid elevens (let alone spending a lot of time playing with valve springs and putting solid rollers on a HR cam) I thought it was a good idea to "raise the bar" and have the Pontiac community be challenged to maybe run better. There has been a lot of bashing of the 041 and ported 6X combinations on this site over the years and they ran solid elevens.
I disagree with your thought there aren't streetable iron d-port combinations that can run mid elevens. I can't believe your 260 cfm CNC iron d-ports with a good HFT would not be able to run in the mid elevens.
Again it's nothing aimed personally towards you or your shop, I feel your head combinations offer a lot of bang for the buck.

Its much much easier to run mid 11's and more common with Aluminum d ports and hyd rollers.Not many can duplicate Jim Hands performance..with cast iron d ports and a 041 cam...but his car was beyond dialed in..
