Cylinder Head Porting and Power Production

sorry for the delay gentlemen. My hands started to tremble and shake. I realized I was really hungry.

I’ll be Measuring from where the cylinder heads deck meets the blocks deck to the lowest point of the bottom the intake port as requested.
Here are my 4 hooligans!
CNC’d ProMaxx (SM) representing stock (-ish?) .205
As cast, last gen, W2/769 .610
As cast W5, .680
BM ported, same

The port itself isn’t raised from the deck but more in the length of the runner IIRC. I don’t have a short block readily handy to lay them on to measure from the deck to the underside of the port, but the pairing picture of the 2 W heads deck to deck is interesting.

First, the decks didn’t meet flat, in order to get the heads deck to deck, it leaves a gap. Then you can see the difference. The W5 is .504 taller laying them deck to deck.
