Probably a wash. Difference is an efi will be repeatable day after day.

Doing a roller cam upgrade and refresh on the engine in the next month

Heads are getting 2.02/1.6 valves with notched cylinders also so I am curious to see what it makes for power now

Could you guess if those headers would fit in a 2nd gen Javelin?  I have a set of 1 5/8's that are going to flow into a new set of 2 1/2" pipes.  Those on the dyno look much bigger.

Thx.

The cam card posted says .3091 lobe lift and .525 gross. That would make it 1.7 rockers at .525.
 
LS rockers have a LOW ratio of 1.7:1.

It's easy to make power with big cubes - but making power with a smaller engine is more of a challenge and more fun in some ways. 
The Jeep people get all worked up when someone goes into their forum and says they are going to spend a grand on a head, do this, do that - they get blasted by folks saying "why when you can drop a V8 into it cheaper".
So? Making more power with a 6 is something few do so it gets attention when you see these high HP, high torque smaller engines. You know some thinking went into it. More thinking than the average 401 out there. You can buy parts from a checklist and get power - do what everyone else is doing. 
Heck, that little engine is in the territory of my 360! 
Impressive for sure. Well over a HP per cube, with a 304.
That's just plain cool.

This build was not about maximum power it was about enough power to be fun to drive for me.  But John and I held ourselves back throughout the build because the car is my wife's.  So no wild quirks, no street drive ability issues it had to start easily and drive easily or she would not touch the car.  It has close to 1000 miles on it now and it is all those things.  It has been in the mid ninteys and it does not over heat or vapor lock.  The car handles stop and go traffic and cruising situations without giving the driver any of the hot rod drive ability issues.

The car can far more than keep up with traffic and has plenty of passing power in any situation.  Is it the fastest thing out there no.  Is it easy and fun to drive HECK YEAH!  Its already hitting 17 miles to the gallon as well.

Its going to drive to Kenosha next summer! Fun! not Hi Po problems. SmileTongueEmbarrassed 

Not every engine has to be a beast...
