Dick, by restricting the intake AND the exhaust you take away the need for that 20K + motor. It may even become a hinderance as your big cam and heads are going to cause reversion issues at some point, something that you don't need with a restricted intake. I believe that cylinder pressure, gearing and an overall ability to tune the combo will be the major factor. I also believe that you would wind up with two totally different schools of thought in the long run, big, torque monster dump truck motors and smaller well tuned and higher winding modified type motors.
