But in the right hands (read as; properly ported), the flow numbers can be well above any other casting, meanwhile adding compression and swirl on the cheap. JMO

Then the head is equal to (actually better if the chamber work is done properly) the 5.7 flow-wise with slightly better swirl characteristics.
