Very true! But with the proper research a good choice can be made.

Ours does not fit exactly for combinations asked for here but the 526 we built for Johns's car made 928.9 hp at 7300 rpm with a BOP intake (920.4 w/ Victor), and this was 11-12 years ago. But to my point here for interest and regarding the comment about finding the right people. Our engine was done by a local engine builder here in town that on occasions does a few Pontiac's. A small but complete shop for all except crank work and align hone, he farms that out. And the High Port heads I bought as raw castings were ported by a fellow named Rick McConathy in Houston known for work on Chevy cylinder heads for Texas Pro Stock. He had never seen a set of HP heads before.

Steve,
He may not have seen a Pontiac HP head before that, but over the years slick rick racing heads has turned out some great work.
