Not heard of any out there and how they run. But they do make it for RAIVish size ports.
Any kind of top you want.
I have emailed Dave a few times, called and left plenty of messages as well to get a set of heads done and order a intake. Never heard back from either email or voicemail.
Went a different route.

I did the same thing, left a couple messages & emails with no replies. After several attempts he answered the phone, and we were able to discuss my build at length. He works out of his home, and he says he is just about always there. I can’t answer to the lack of replies, but I do know he eventually will answer the phone. He is going to work my Hi-port heads & intake for my next build. I’m going to drop the heads off soon, he said it would be a couple months before he is finished.

I had a similar experience with SD performance in Canada as you did with Dave. I understand why you would move on, I did the same thing when I couldn’t make contact with SD performance.

The numbers in you sig are some of the best I know of for what you are running.
Most need a big roller and some even a aftermarket block to get where you are with a 455 and flat tappet. Dave W. seems to have that effect on combos.
SD Dave is all about E mails. When Marcell was there you could call up and get a answer. One man shop makes it tough. If they stop to talk to you they are not getting anything done.
