I'm not looking for a fire-breather. If I can get another 10% over the original dyno pull (440/475), I'll take it. Joe Lapine was of the opinion that at least that much was in a good dyno-tune. I'm looking for all that power in a tractable package with no surprises. Relatively low maintenance and no sharp breakage points are plusses, meaning a hydraulic cam. 
I might pull the engine next fall to make some changes, including a cam - and if the rear drip turns out to be the main seal - but for now I'll go with the hardware I have. If it's a good year, I might build a whole new ally engine instead. (Damn, those prices on Dove SOHC parts are tempting...)
