Will you be utilizing sonic turbo mufflers?

It will be run with no mufflers on the dyno. Not sure what will get used in the car.

Nice clean assembly, good job, maybe Sumtingwong believes a burr finish will up your HP, or a cam LSA change that might drop TQ by 15ft lbs but gain 100 HP, lol

My initial guess was with zero porting after looking closely at your kitchen pics and noticing the intake ports
I'm going to say 438 hp 420 tq.
