With a few tweaks like a velocity stack to put on the throttle body and removing the belt on the water pump I would have seen another 10-20 hp.
The heads are good ls3 casting heads ported by Gavin Simcoe, he graduated from Sam like Chris Frank. I believe around same time.
Intake I use has proven to work well on several other builds like mine, (Darth and hammers). 12.08:1 compression is good as well.
Cam is on the small side but very street friendly at 246/262@.050 .689/.672 112lsa 108 cl.
Im not sure how this effects it but with a steady flow of city water running through the engine on the dyno, temp never went over 120°. Usually these engines like to be fully warmed up. My car has always ran best straight off the highway on the track at 185°

Just said again mill me MF'er i want to be 62cc also...Don't leave me @ 70 cc with tears....gotta mill'em now!!
It's a different feeling when you have a NA engine making a ton of power.
You also get the reliability too.
Forced induction means you need a much less radical camshaft to make power so you get better driveability and way more power.
There are also cons with excess heat and decreased reliability because of the way higher pressures.
I would love to go for the forced induction route but my transmission is the limiting factor.
The cost to replace it and then rebuild the replacement plus a new tailshaft and programming etc will be way too costly.

I have my little 125 baby shot for if its not enough.

His approach is very different than your or mine would be but if he can tolerate the motor acting like it will good on him. He said he dealt with rowdy motors before and can drive them fine. I believe him.

From two pages of ramblings, I think he's building an engine that's "the dope" (aka Fentanyl) with the help of some SAM-Tech experts out of the pile of parts he's collected. His Super 408 NA engine will kill all the big buck Mary Jane / plain Jane 420+ cube NA engines with big dollar heads with ease at a. fraction of what they cost.
