They are not heavy breathers especially at .500-.600 lift (take a look at where the piston is at between .500 and .600 in both intake and exhaust cycles) but they do have some very impressive .300 and .400 numbers. A little differant approach to porting and giving the motor what it needs where it needs it based on the CI and the cam. BTW this dyno is on an 8 year old 250 and the numbers are SAE and Winpep software is version 7, for the sake of honest disclosure. This is a new paradigm as we typically were used to 10.5/1 high lift cam 95" motors reaching these levels. The Thunderheader will make good torque but not low and at the top is probably costing a few HP IMO. FatCat would be even stronger.

BVBOB this is a baby cam with specs close to stock and only 18° overlap.

Regarding CNC
The machine removes metal by program 1st, hand blending afterwards. If there is core shift concievably places in the port could never be touched and others would have a very heavy cut. The HD heads late model can have up to a + or - tolerance of .040. The guys like R&R have all this dialed in when they use their own ports developed by Reggie.

I have a set of those Babies right in front of me on my desk right now, yes, numbers close to stock, ramp angles anything but close to stock.
