I do have a set on a customers 496.
He has been running 6.70's with a hyd. roller,Victor,floed 850,4.56 gears,4,000 stall etc.
I always try and explain to the customer they may or they may not need a lot of prep work.

From what I have read and heard ,those heads were intended to be a stock replacement head with almost no performance improvement over stock.You get the benifit of alu and save some weight,other than that its just a replacement head in alu.......not a anymore of a performance piece than a stock head can be made to do...only there alu and new ,so people get the impression there a good aftermarkett racing head when they are not.

They do have the same port as some of the rec. port BBC head which is 320 cc's.
I have done some flow work with very good results.
Looking at some flow numbers I would guess there is enough head to support 700 hp.
Like I said before in another post I do have a customer that runs 6.70's with the heads.
