I don't guess that an iron block would make more power. My main goal here was taking weight off the front of the car to get closer to 50/50 weight distribution.

As far as the cam, I told Tim Goolsby that I wanted to make at least 600 hp, didn't want to run above 6500 rpm and wanted a wide power band. Nailed it! That cam doesn't want to idle below 1000 rpm, but OMG it's happy and sounds badass idling at 1200.

The first thing I noticed about my High Ports were how heavy and solid they felt picking them up . Nice beefy head with plenty of room to port should you ever want to.
Mine have a 2.20 valve and with a little bowl work they go 352cfm @ .700 and 359cfm @ .800 lift. So they are done just past .700 lift in my case.
I will be looking forward to hearing about your guys latest Pontiac effort.
Can you put up a vid of the engine so we can hear how it sounds ?
