I would think increased pressure under each valve would necessitate a thicker base, but that's just some logical reasoning, I'm not sure. I have never really thought about it or noticed.

intake ports on the 5.0l coyote are 195cc. far smaller than ls-3 heads. the coyote makes similar power from superior flowing heads, more advanced chambers(penatroof>inline 2v), and higher rpm. cams are .475 lift. duration is unknown as of now.
