Shame it wasn't a true bk to bk test with no mod's.
Was the bent valve seating ok? as if yes, it wouldn't change the power unless it was sticking or not seating.

I haven't got the engine back in the car and running yet so i can't comment on how it drives on the road, but it certainly looks like it's gonna be good on paper! To be fair tho, the head had recieved some fairly extensive porting so the results might not be exactly the same in a standard car.
Whats your spec? would be good to see your dyno sheet.
