Is there a particular reason you went for the cvh head as apposed to the zetec head or other zetec type heads (forget the neame now but I think a black top head is good for 300+ without porting??)
Genuinely interested in your reasoning for the cvh head as IIRC the comeabout of the zvh was because people already had the bits from a cvh inc management etc... so on a build like this with cossie management why didnt you use a 16v head?
Cheers

quite simply we are trying to find the limit of an 8v head and the cost of cams dubble valve springs pulleys,solid lifters is all dubbled as there is twice as many
in my own car ill be using a 16v head and porting it to its limmit got to try new things tust to see what happens

pushing the limits is a good thing.

Will you be 'finding the limit' of the 8v head?

I look forward to seeing what results you end up with.
I love the idea of a high power at low boost build.
High power at low boost levels indicates an efficient intake/cylinder head.
Do you have any flow test results from the cylinder head?
The head looks as if it has had some reshaping already done.
I am assembling a cylinder head here in Canada (for a turbo Escort 1.9), and am having some port work done (flow bench testing on a Superflow 600). I have reached stock Zetec
head flow numbers without too much effort.
Cheers
