"Especially when a lot of the Pontiac guys I've run across are some of the cheapest guys on the planet."

Many 409 guys are too

But I agree for those wanting it to look stock but go fast makes sense. Heck how many guys that race a little that swap that 455 in place of the 400 still tell folks it's a 400? I mean my street racing Impala just had a "348 truck motor" in it

The SBC guys have some CNC programs to make DART heads have "double humps".

Funny you mentioned that. Trick Flow has been casting their aluminum heads in both the 461 and 186 style hump heads for a few years now. I'm doing a 355 and going to use the Trick Flow hump heads on it. Unfortunately, like everything else, they are at least 6 months out.
