I agree totally. Not everyone can use or needs the same head, stock or ported. As you have stated in the past - it's all part of a combination. If you don't have the right combo, you'll still be sitting there while the guy in the next lane is long gone.
What would be great to see in a separate thread would be flow numbers for stock ootb heads - J, Magnum, RHS, W2, Eddy, Indy and any other head that you can think of. Then do another test of all these heads ported, polished and any other "reasonable" mods you want to do. Finally for both stock and modified give recommendations for cam, compression, rear gears, etc.
Now that would be informative but would take a HUGE amount of work to accomplish. I'm sure flow numbers could be found all over the internet, but who did the work and can the numbers be trusted and not padded? Pissing contests would abound with, "my guy is better than your guy!" You know the story.
