To address this part of your post - As I suggested before, why not make it easier on NHRA/IHRA stock tech? - the heads are already ported anyway, and the piston/pins are already light anyway. Why not whistle test for compression, P&G for cubic inches, and put an inspection cover on the pan to put a bore scope through to check the bottom end, seal em' and send 'em on their way?

Your racing against guys that have had their own blocks and manifolds cast, big bearing billet cams, relocated lifter bores, etc. Integrity in stock is looooooong gone.
