Why am I drawn to the aluminum??

If you think the eddie held will perform with Brians head the way you pull them out of the box, you're in for a rude awakening...

Compression on aluminum MAY be able to be bumped up, NOT always. There have been test that show there is no true compression advantage with aluminum.

50# isn't gonna do squat on a street driven car.

Unless you port the eddies, they won't run with an RHS head like what Brian does.

Interesting. The flow numbers for the two heads are close.
