Yes, but the 670's were to make the car look more correct.

The 428 is my favorite for street driving: more torque than a 400, but not so much that street tires have no chance off the line. And it still likes to rev.

I'd make a template of the 670 combustion chamber outline and digitize that to mill a dish exactly that shape into the pistons which will maximize quench, which in turn reduces octane dependency.
