He seems to have done his homework regarding compression and cam selection which would both improve power and efficiency.

I'm not sure the new offering of a redesigned block would fully pay for itself (for an additional $400), but the porting and rebuilding services seem to be very fairly priced.
What I'm most concerned about is what if something goes wrong. Would he be willing or even able to honor his both product & workmanship in a headache free manner.

Secondly, is it even possible to squeeze an add 5mpg gain by some special CNC method on the cylinder head? That's quite a claim.

Regarding the block, the only way that I see to make it better would be to cry-treat it to enhance its durability; but he doesn't mention that.
