Hi Karl,

The Dove F5 heads are a medium riser based on the CJ heads. Local guy using the same intake on a 427 with Edelbrock heads - also medium riser - made over 520 HP so it does not seem to be intake limited. Depending on how you do your corrections for altitude and chassis dyno to flywheel, I am down around 350 flywheel at sea level. Maybe this is just realistic compared to some of the inflated values I see thrown around here but I was hoping for low 400's based on what was put into the motor. Right now, my dollars per horsepower ratio is pretty high.

Gary
