Pete,
I think the original poster is planning a street/strip type 355/383 w/ a superram? which I do think for the price the Jeg's Heads are a pretty good value. The other nice thing is that Jeg's is one of the largest performance stores in the country with a great reputation. I have seen the heads and they look top notch. I would run them if the rules would allow but I'm stuck paying $1400 just to port my 113's to get the same #'s.
Am I correct w/ your build Glen??

Pete,
basically so it is a total torque monster. it's gonna be in and done with by 6,000rpm, peaking at 5500 actually. i dont wanna rev it any higher for a true street car. torque will be overly abundant (over 500ft/lbs est from 2000 to 5200rpm) and the curve is damn near flat. if i was building an all-out motor you're right, minimum 210cc...

My builder often assembles 434 street motors and tells me that he feels 230 intake runners are often quite small. My buddy Tom has a 436 (.040 over) and runs a ported set of brodix 227 cc runners. Even after extensive port work, very responsive and great street manners.

If you ever put a 180cc head on a 421 or a 434, there is no way it would rev close to 6000 imo. It would choke the chit out of it.
