The flow is what's going to kill you most likely vs. higher end builds. I know you said you're going to send your heads out to Patriot which is an excellent idea. Needless to say you aren't going to hit 600 without the bottle unless you have crazy 14:1+ compression.
I really like this write up that Patrick G wrote about the 500hp 346. The same approach can be taken towards building any engine. You really have to take into account the small things. Valve train stability, mass, exhaust flow, and so many other things. I'll talk to you about it at some point soon. I should make it to sonic this Saturday as I don't have to work.
EDIT: My past 5 posts in here haven't counted. I'm also getting the data base error every single time I post which is also pissing me off!
