Spun this one up today.

386 hp @ 6600, 355 lb-ft of torque to back it up. 

Intake lobe is just 221° @ .050" and I feel that this little engine didn't do too bad for such a mild combination.

I would have loved to have seen this with a massive cam and much higher rpm.

I know, the use dictates, but it would have been cool to see

We will see what the race TP heads I have will do with a more radical combination.

I think a lot of guys are getting the street heads confused with the race heads.  They are completely different, even the valve sizes and combustion chamber designs are 180 from each other.  These are the street heads, with little 1.950"/1.500" valves. 

The heads like rpm, that's a given.   But I think the story is that the bottom ends wouldn't hold the kind of rpm that was necessary to get the most out of the heads.  Who knows.

The heads measured about 185cc in the intake port volume.   I think if you were to jam a 185cc AFR head down on a 302 you would probably get a little soggy bottom end too.
