Nope

You have a good enough head you can make excellent power, and yes, more with a little more cam as it has the capacity or "growing room" built in.

Try sticking a big cam in a stock Gen 1 head and see what happens.

Well it's actually done all the time... You end up with a 355 breathing through a 2 BARREL carburetor making 350hp (on gas) at 7200RPM all the way around the track (and this is the fastest way around the track for them). So what is your point? I don't want to know what you've seen or heard, I want to know what you've done. What have the engines that you've built done? Here lets do this; tell me what the difference will be between a 410 unlimited sprint car engine that is run with a set of -10X (23*) cylinder heads that flow 360cfm and the same engine that now runs a set of -12 (15*) cylinder heads that also flow 360cfm? Tell me which one will make more power and where (these engines operate from 6000-8200RPM).
