So I don't think u arrive at any final conclusions just yet. But let's say w tuning u pick up 20. ROI looks thin.
I'm assuming peak was 7100 which says u moved that up ~ 200rpm.
Is this stock cams?

No these are the 222 .415 236 425 intake and 222 .415 exhaust cams

Peak was 7050 or 7100 on the run with 441rwhp

Here is the dyno sheet(This is from the 2nd run)

I noticed you put the logo on top!

Nice work on you concept and testing the results. Does look like you may have extended the power under the curve at the upper RPM range. That's useful!

OK, so peak didn't change from Siamese ports. I was also comparing peak HP w mine since cams are similar. My peak is ~ 6900rpms w 36.5mm plenum port and head runners that neck down from 36.5mm at the top, down to about 34mm by the bowl.

Went back to look at the last time I tuned my setup specifically, what happened at 7100rpm. HP was pretty flat losing 4hp between peak of 6850 and 7100rpm.
That seems to suggest little contribution from added plenum volume BUT
the tune needs to be cleaned up before drawing any conclusions.
