David Vizard - Which to prioritize - PORT FLOW or PORT VELOCITY?

A stock X head can support 200-400+ hp engines, for a 200-300 hp engine a 273/318 head could easily do it too but gonna need way more cam over the X head which way is better ? On paper a stock 175 cfm 318 head should be able to make 400 + hp but is it the wises choice to do so?
Yeah until you see a 318 with ported 318 stock valves run mid 12's with a 218 hydraulic cam in 3400 pound street car.
