596 casting or 308 casting for mild 360 4bbl

...I WOULD NOT GOT THIS FAR with the cam you're using. Velocity is every bit at important as flow ###....

To clarify, my comment was not a recommendation regarding how much porting the OP do, it was merely an illustration of the potential of 596 castings if one were to CHOSE to port for max flow gain.

Now, consider that these flow numbers are for a 180 cc intake runner...that's stil a pretty good amount of velocity.
