That should be pretty stout! I don't know anything about Pro-filer heads. The only thing I would question is your use of an electric water pump--I have always heard that they are not a good choice for the street.

Pro filers are pretty new to the head market they have the r&d done on them by Darrin Morgan that built engines for Reher Morrison they just started building a sb head and its a pretty remarkable peice there known for there high end bb racing heads but this sb peice has some pretty impressive engineering in it.

As for the electric pump only problem with them on the street is they claim to push too much water, and people claim they push the water through the radiator before it has time to cool but its all good and they work pretty nicely ecs on an engine that will need alot of cooling seeing street use aswell. Also opted for a griffin with 1 1/4 tubes aswell.
They claim these pumps will drain an average size swimming poll in 4 hrs lol
