Well, for the ported to the max big time race builds, no.

You could say its really a theory that HPs are a better race head. Even though I think they are.
But for 95% of us the E head will more than get the job done. And you don't have to worry about hood clearance, crossover, valve covers hitting things ect.
Or deal with the 1" longer valve that it turns out is a issue in a stock block pushing the limits. I don't think its insurmountable but it must be taken into account.
I really like the High Port head. Its really thick, nice and solid as you know. More room to port and all that.
But I would not mind having a set of SDs 340-350cfm standard port E heads with the new chamber either.
You could make a 700HP NA Pontiac stroker with those too.
