Edelbrock / RHS heads, or go BIG block and put it to bed!
I agree with Moper on whole lot of what he wrote. While the Indy head has it merits as well, alot depends on what exactly your doing with the build.
1W&CG, you should know and I am surprised you even wrote what you did. Higher performance equals higher dollors spent....period. OOTB condition/flow rates need not apply, though, I agree, it shold.
Moper, we have a IMM/IRHS head flag waver and theres nothing anyone can do about it until the next great head comes out and the work is done cheaper than the flag he waves.
I can find it now, but ....
The mention of heli coiling aluminum heads.... Heli coils are stronger. Putting a steel/iron bolt into a aluminum heads is... UGH I almost can't beileve I have to write this out.
2 dis-similar metals! Torqued on top of it. Longevity? Hard metal vs. soft metal.
OMG! OK, next.. the link to another forum about the head issue.
Wait! How do I know those heads are freshly casted? How long have they been on a shelf? How o I know that this guy didn't screw up and is blaming the part/casting/someone for his screw up? IS it possible he's passing the buck?
Look haed enuff and you'll find someone someplace is bitching about someone you tout and trust as the best. There bitchin about the part. The machine work. Something is allways being bitched at.
To find one thread from one meatball *** hat or a few dozen doesn't make that part a bad part. Or the machinest bad. It could be something else.
Don't worry, the RHS head is new and it'll have issues soon enuff. After all, or did we all forget allready that "INDY" has some of the worst customer support ever invented (I save the worst for Paxton!) and RHS is INDY!
HELLLLLLLLLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of this thread has turned into the normal pissing match. What a shame. Blind people! Stuck on stupid half the time.
