I post on a few different sites so if I'm repeating myself, please forgive me. 
Okay, I'm assembling a 532 and originally ordered pistons with the standard valve layout to use with a set of Scotty's ported big-valve D0VEs. Pistons are forged Icons. The short block is already assembled.
Since then, I have acquired a set of AFR 280s and will need to cut new intake notches in the pistons to match the AFRs.
This is a pump gas street engine. Compression around 9.5-9.7.
I would like to make 550-600 HP at the rear wheels through a C6 if possible.
My question is, will the D0VEs meet this requirement?
I would just as soon not have to notch the pistons, but I do have the Lindy in-head cutter to perform this process.
I realize both of these heads are "small" for a stroker engine but they're what I have.
If my horsepower target is too optimistic then I'll take what I can get with what I have. Don't need to get too wrapped up in peak numbers. Torque and throttle response is where it's at for a street engine anyway.
