Racer X,

Hiding? Perhaps so.

Have read the recent ads for Blue Thunder aluminum Cleveland heads. Was not aware Brodix also made them.

Pantera forum has an Australian made C3V Cleveland head with C4V valves, and C2V ports. Said to be more streetable in bottom end, and mid range but they cost $1k each from website.

Big block Chevy street heads use rectangular port size valves with oval port heads to optimize mid range torque. Concept makes sense.

Point was, people who could have changed this "it's always been done this way", ( Edelbrock, TFS, etc) chose not to do so. And we end users, consumers, have to live with it (or express our disappointment by not purchasing the product).
