Something about Keith Black, LSX and a whole bunch of other neat stuff in his shop. Nice clean & like an aerospace shop.
Like I said PM him for more info.

I was in BSP, I got bumped to SM2 when I upgraded my radiator 
So, I figured, they want me to run SM2 fine, I'll show them what I Vette can do in that class!

I had Ron port the stock heads I bought.
That way we have a record of everything done.
They had to clean the heads before flowing them.
They didn't want 84k miles worth of crud clogging up the flow bench.
Thanks to Ron for getting that done, man they cleaned up nice
This will both end of lot of debates, and start many more.
peaked at .400 lift!
Makes you wonder about putting big rockers on stock heads.

Brian Cunninghams heads freshly soda blasted and flowed...
Very similar to the #s pulled off the web, never hurts to double check it.
Heads and intake will be ported and the flowed (again) seaprately and together. Just for reference. Odd intake port shape.....
Ive seen #s printed out here but no charts yet, just curious.

Ron started porting my heads yesterday.
Here's an intake port.
Keep in mind that these are a work in progress, and he hasn't finished the port yet.
He's even porting the oil return holes for me
checkout how the stock guides are NOT centered in the casting
Still trying to figure out what that step on the backside is.
PS
This is my last day in Denver, and I'll be heading over to Gary's sometime next week to checkout mounting those shocks.

Just unwrapped my EM LT's today.
The quality of the jet coating is amazing, they looked like they were chromed
Gaskets and hardware came with it

Very nice Brian. I sometimes wish I would have just S/C'ed the 408.
I have to ask though..."Budget blower build up"
Are building a blown motor on a budget....or blowing the budget on the build up

Update:
Ron convinced me that for the $ I'm spending that I'm better off going to a casting better than stock. I went ahead and ordered up AFR's new Eliminator 195 castings for the LT4.
You can make pretty good peak intake #'s with the stock casting, but there's not way you can ever make it flow on the exhaust like that. Which on a supercharged engine will be the choke point.

Next Ron will see if we can modify an LT1 intake or pick up a used LT4 or perhaps Edelbrocks new intake.
I'll also talked to Tony @ AFR and I'm going to have him make me a custom cam grind. Getting the cam grind for these aftermarket heads will be critical.

Dude, these things are gorgeous...Doesnt look like a CNC'ed head, they look like more of a ***** out race head seriously. The exhaust ports look absolutely sick on this thing.
