aussie 408 combo

ive already purchased the rockers and heads so theres no turning back on them . The heads and rockers were second hand and had done about 1000 miles and were set up with a solid roller prior to me buying them .The engine builder has measured up the lift etc and says the springs had already been changed and are good to go with my cam.The main thing by the sound is the inlet manifold . I might just buy a single plane M1 and when he is running the engine on the dyno , run it with both and see what the difference is and sell the other.
The reason i went with a dual plane was because of this

What they neglect to mention in this video is that there is a relatively narrow spread in RPM between peak torque and peak horsepower and that's with a 360.

This flat-out indicates a restriction (for potential horsepower) in the heads/intake flow. Theoretically on a bigger cube motor such as yours it would be exacerbated.

IMO Getting a 408 to peak at or above 6500 is probably tunnel ram territory anyhow.
