The int has the ports smoothed and gasket matched
839/780 lift, 283/302@.050, 316/340@ .020, 114 lsa
1250 or 1300 cfm carb

You should make between 960 to about 975. You need a few more cubic inches, and a little more airflow for 1000 Hp. Probably get some custom pistons with a lightweight ring package and finesse things.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I hope trick flow aint doing it like that. The 2.30 int is what they say flow 412cfm out the box. I think the 2.35's is a little better. Anyway what ive done is polished all ports smoothing sharpness out of the short turns and sharp edges out of the bowls/pockets.
Thanks
