According to the website:
-Intake port flow is 405CFM @ .600” lift
-The intake ports are standard LS-7
-There is a huge gain in Horsepower over a 2 valve head. To the tune of 100HP more using the same induction, exhaust, cam etc.
_The heads come with everything necessary to convert to 32v. Pair heads fully assembled, pair valve covers, rocker assembly and shafts. $7499.00
A lot of money, but if you were looking for a unique powerplant.............

The idea is great, its just my opinion there is a lot of complication in that design while the two valve heads for these engines flow really well without the "exotic" engineering.
This engine was designed for two valves. When I was younger (1980 or so) I can remember aftermarket heads for the small block that had 4 valves per cylinder. Not much amounted to it. I am all for innovation but I would like to see them on a test mule.

Even though they claim 400 cfm intake flow, that is not the point of 4 valves per cylinder. The main benefits are 1. low lift flow, which will be way better than two valves, and 2. combustion chamber shape, which is almost ideal with 4 valves. I don't think 100 HP gain is unreasonable.
