but... that one looks so... respectable.

if it's better than stock by much at all they very well might actually gain something. Which isn't good (atleast in this thread).

What you are asking for sounds reminiscent of an old sbc with shitty heads and a cam that is too big. Starts out boggy, then right when the cam starts making power the heads fail to flow enough shortly after. Unfortunately there are no shitty heads available for the genIII/ gen IV engine lol.
