I wonder if the compression could be raised on that motor by changing out the head gaskets... but that seems silly on an assembled engine.

450 ft pounds is anything but boring , the problem with many engines built by "race shops" is many times they are mismatched junk , that do nothing well , gm crate engines usually run very well in my experience , and their parts are matched for each other , not some "mechanics" wet dream .
