EngineMasters Episode 21 408/410 stroker w/ported heads

I think I addressed that.

That doesn't mean they did the testing as good as they could have. That's why real testing is so expensive. The more variables you eliminate, the more it costs.

So I get why they did what they did. At least they ported the intake and didn't just do a port match. Most guys spend all the $$$$ for porting and then port match the intake and wonder why it's not making the power it should.

true.
This was another motor for chubby with the lisp, so its just a 'lets see what we get and what it does' more than intention, is my take.
