Hi Steve:
That's what I was told by the C-block gurus of the net: ditch the multi's
and switch over to single groove valves and keepers. 

Gong to the Aussie heads (well, it looks like your going with an alum
version), you should gain something as it has smaller ports than the 4V's
(you got a Boss unit in yer Goose, right)? The intake might be good for
them. 

I do believe that there is a company on the web that sells CNC machine
Aussies for about $1000 complete, ready to bolt on no nonsense stuff (I
forgot who that was. I have my bookmarks on my catman address at home). I do
believe it was "CNCheads" but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps and see you at the teck sess. Cal.
