12 Second N/A Slant 6?

Not at all. No need to be insultingly presumptuous. I cannot read your mind. You've asked a lot of vague questions. How do I know what you consider exotic unless I ask? I need to know limitations, so I am asking. Simple as that.

Porting has nothing to do with lift & I don't consider that exotic.

Why are you quoting stock head lift?

I'm willing to spend $$ for run of the mill machine work to increase lift capabilities.

I'm talking about aftermarket springs/retainers, possibly cutting the seats for the botton retianers.

None of that would be exotic.

I don't want to spend big $$$$ on longer stemmed valves, special rocker arms or such.

For some reason you don't seem to be taking me seriously or you assume I am not knowledhgable W/modified engines.
