Well I'm basing everything on research right now.....and if you speak to 10 different people, you'll get 10 different opinions...you know that. I'm sure that Gessford and Craft would tell you different things at times as well.

So I'm basing my choices on research and computer simulation software. I know better than to put all of my eggs in one basket....but Desktop Dyno has proven to be accurate to me.

I'm planning on using a 428 bore...so the largest valve I can use without shrouding or notching the cylinder decks is a 2.09 and a 1.66.

Intake....probably Edelbrock Performer RPM. I don't think the Victor is appropriate for this application...

So yes, I think the heads and intake will support the flow.

Right now I'm teetering on 6000 or 6500 rpm hp peak. I love the sound of a high-winding engine...
