Then please post. I'm sure we're all familiar with his "Hello Hemi" Popular Hot Rodding article. He's one of the world's most renowned flow researcher but I've yet to see his opinion on this heads and flow capabilities and I would like to.

Nice pictures, tho no proof, in his post of his 600hp claim - just speculation. He's using this post to promote his business.
I think you're taking this a little too far. He only posted flow numbers which I personally can see supporting (maybe with even more port work) and boring and stroking these heads supporting 600HP. That was the point of my post. Nothing more.

BTW: Those look very much like anti-reversion valves that Chrysler has used

Interesting.

I don't know how you can tell, from what I know the anti-reversion lip is on the top of the valve. But I'm sure it would be necessary if running big headers and an extreme cam to maintain low end torque, however it would sacrifice the flow if you're shooting for high end "brag-able" HP like Fastman is...Anyway, off topic. It seems like Fastman is definitely serious. Don't get me wrong, 600HP on a small block is ridiculous for a daily driver.

To answer another poster, yes the tranny would blow easily, but that wasn't the point of my post.
