Can a 400BBM w/cheap aluminum heads compete/dominate against the street LS?

500" 440.........Scroll down to La Roy Engines.

The 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge, Part 2 - Mopar Muscle Magazine

Oh heck...check out the HP Engines entry on the same page. It is a 406ci 400 that made 608 HP. Forgot all about the Hollis Page entry.

If you can also get to the 9 pictures, the broken rocker shaft belongs to the 'Prism Racing' 400 block entry. They were winding it to 8,000 rpm while I was standing next to Billy Godbold of Comp Cams and he said, "You hear that? The valvetrain is screaming in agony!"

Aaaaaand boom...........

I think they still won the contest though.
Jim, (based off the article provided, 340 cfm)

do your ported 906 heads flow better than basic aluminum heads then?
