My mistake regarding the KRE port volume.....
"Port velocity is an important factor in achieving strong low-speed performance for a street engine. KRE chose to limit intake port volume to 185 cc to promote good throttle response and high-torque output. Excellent peak flow allows it to consistently deliver 500 or more hp on moderate builds."

And depending on the combination at that 500 hp with as cast KRE heads you should have at least 540-550 ft. lbs. torque at 3500/3600 rpm !
