Kaama,
You shoulda' called Bruce (Crower) or one of his boys up and explained to him their mistake and your situation. I'm sure a pair of their cranks or billet rods woulda' smoothed things out, LOL.

I ended up changing the cylinder heads I'm going to go with, instead of the "as-cast" AFR 305's, I'm going to get the CNC ported AFR 315's. The intake flow is increased 20+ cfm across the valve lift range, with similar improvements on exhuast flow. More efficiency = more power.
So now I'm looking at:
RPM.........HP.......TQ
2000.......249......653
2500.......322......676
3000.......386......676
3500.......448......672
4000.......503......661
4500.......552......644
5000.......578......607
5500.......580......553
AVG.........452......642
