That's getting pretty close to Charlie's LS7 heads flow numbers.

How much milling would the heads need to stay at 70cc?
Does your valve job gain any piston to valve clearance?
Do you have a cam that will get close to 550rwhp/500rwtq with a 418?
Great flow performance showing no deteriorization at lower RPM. I dont know what happens to velocity but I'm sure final build results will show great gains.

High flow heads worth it with FI?
Is there value in adding high flow heads to a FI build?
I assume yes for any given boost level, but adding another .5 lb of boost should make up for a few cfm of improved flow.
The boost is free unless your running at the limits.
Also; if high flow heads were added to an FI build what considerations should be given to compression ratios (hence chamber size)?

Lightweight valve train components, particularly valves, reduce the moving mass allowing lifter more easily to follow the cam profile, control valve spring bounce, and reduce friction – all resulting in improved power. The typical result in changing from a heavier to lighter valve is an extension as well as an increase in the power band. Another noteworthy improvement is improved valve and valve spring life.

Chamber size will be dictated ultimately by the final power numbers you want. Camshaft selection, piston volume, octane, etc., all play a part and each paramater needs to be scrutinized

None - but we'd have to leave the combustion chamber essentially "as cast", machining only the immediate floor and wall. On the fully CNC'd chamber 70 cc will require .028 milling.
No, the valve stem angles are the same and we set the seats in the OEM locations as well.
Those numbers are a good benchmark to hit and if we mounted an LS7 intake manifold on these heads, very reasonable. That being said, I beleive that something like 234° intake duration / 244° exhaust duration, ground on a 113° +4° Lobe Separation will be extremely close and still have decent street manners.
Thanks, spent a lot of flow bench time time to improve and or maintain low lift flow rates - the top end numbers are big bonus and came as a result of what we learned while devleoping our LS7 heads.

Throttle response would be up as the dynamic compression would be optimized
If replacing a pair of stock heads and assuming the mods above, expect 25-35 at the tire
